West Ham United's Sebastien Haller scores his side's first goal of the game during the Premier League match at the London Stadium
West Ham 1-1 Crystal Palace
by Paul Donovan
WEST HAM should regard this as two points lost in what was a hard-fought contest at the London Stadium.
The home side should have gone on to win the game after a spectacular equalising goal from Sebastian Haller was followed by Palace being reduced to 10 men for the final 20 minutes after Christian Benteke was sent off.
West Ham seemed to lack the urgency required to go on and win the game.
