Jean-Philippe Mateta scored twice in the second half as Crystal Palace completed a 2-0 Premier League away win at a toothless West Ham United on Saturday, more evidence for new manager Graham Potter of the difficult job at hand in east London.

Palace broke from their own box and within three touches Eberechi Eze's pass to the feet of Mateta set the striker on goal and he drilled the ball low into the goal, before adding a second from the penalty spot late on.

West Ham's poor afternoon was compounded by a second yellow card for Konstantinos Mavropanos 10 minutes from the end following his high boot into the face of Mateta, giving referee Thomas Bramall an easy decision to make.

Palace climb to 12th place in the table with 27 points from 22 games, above West Ham, who are in 14th with 26 points from the same number of matches.
