West Ham United's Robert Snodgrass (obscured) celebrates scoring his side's first goal of the game
Crystal Palace goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey must have wondered by the end of the game yesterday afternoon about his time-wasting tactics, after his side went one up on five minutes.
Palace manager Roy Hodgson reflected that his side probably played better in the second half but still lost 3-2 against West Ham.
"We had good spells in the second half. We had our moments, they had theirs.They took their chances," said a disappointed Hodgson.
