West Ham United claim convincing victory at Crystal Palace: 0-2 thanks to Souček and Bowen
West Ham United defeated Crystal Palace 0-2 at Selhurst Park in the Premier League. Tomáš Souček and Jarrod Bowen were the scorers in a match that was only decided in the closing stages. It is West Ham's first league win of the season, while Crystal Palace have now suffered two consecutive defeats.
Tight first half, goals only after the break
Selhurst Park was treated to a tense affair that remained goalless throughout the first half, with both sides heading into the dressing room level at the interval. It was not until the 67th minute that Tomáš Souček broke the deadlock and gave West Ham United the lead.
Bowen seals the win
Five minutes later, Jarrod Bowen made it 0-2. The forward capitalised on an assist from defender Max Kilman, settling the contest decisively in favour of the Londoners. Crystal Palace failed to find the net at any point across the full ninety minutes.
West Ham claim their first win of the season
With this result, West Ham United secure their first league victory of the campaign. After two matches played, the two clubs find themselves in very different moods: Crystal Palace suffer their second successive defeat, while West Ham appear to have found their footing.
Outlook: demanding schedule ahead for both clubs
Crystal Palace continue their season with an away fixture at Chelsea on 1 September, followed by a home match on 14 September and a home game against Manchester United on 21 September. West Ham United host Manchester City on 31 August, travel to Fulham on 14 September, and welcome Chelsea to their ground on 21 September.
