West Ham United have drawn 1-1 with Crystal Palace in the Premier League

David Moyes’ side were unable to follow up their victory over Leeds United at the weekend, with Christian Benteke continuing his good form with another goal for Palace.

At the London Stadium there was to be another comeback, but the Hammers were unable to take all three points this time, as they did against the Whites.

The Eagles will feel they should have won the game having had some good chances to score before Sebastien Haller equalised superbly with a bicycle kick.

That was the Frenchman’s third Premier League goal of the season and seventh in all competitions, and the sensational nature of the strike could provide a real boost to his confidence going forwards.

Benteke saw red in the second half which led to some late pressure from the Irons, but they couldn’t find a winner and the spoils were shared.

One man who had a particularly impressive outing for the home side, was the man who assisted Haller, Vladimir Coufal.

The Czech Republic international was a constant outlet for West Ham, and did really well against Palace danger man Wilfried Zaha.

The £30,000-a-week star (Spotrac) sought to get forward when he could and was also solid in the defensive phase, winning eight of his 10 duels according to Sofascore. He also made four key passes, and put in 12 crosses.

On social media, West Ham fans were disappointed with their team’s performance, but reserved praise for Coufal:
