A pair of second-half goals from Tomas Soucek and Jarrod Bowen gave West Ham United their first Premier League win of the season as they cruised to a 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Saturday.
Both sides had early chances, with Mohammed Kudus flashing a shot wide for the Hammers in the 11th minute and Palace striker Eberechi Eze denied by keeper Alphonse Areola five minutes later.
The best chance of a nervy first half fell to the home side as they pulled off a well-worked short corner just before the break that resulted in Eze firing a curling, dipping shot that smacked off the crossbar and bounced away to safety.
