West Ham United\u2019s struggles at the London Stadium deepened after a 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace, marking just one win in their last 11 Premier League (PL) home matches. The Eagles, meanwhile, extended their unbeaten run in the top flight to 11 games, cementing their reputation as tough opposition in London derbies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Tepid First Half Ends in Frustration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Despite empty seats and audible frustration from the stands, the Hammers looked lively early on. Crysencio Summerville\u2019s driving run set the tone, forcing a corner, but the chance was quickly snuffed out. The midfield battle soon descended into a scrappy affair, with misplaced passes \u2014 notably Adam Wharton\u2019s loose ball \u2014 highlighting the lack of control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crystal Palace, however, gradually grew into the game. After wasting half-chances, they finally capitalized when Jean-Philippe Mateta powered home a header from their sixth corner, netting his 50th goal for the club. West Ham attempted to respond before the break through Summerville and Callum Wilson, but boos from the home crowd summed up a lacklustre half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second Half: Set-Piece Drama<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The game sprang to life after halftime. Palace\u2019s Maxence Lacroix rattled the crossbar from a corner, but moments later, West Ham equalized as Jarrod Bowen cleverly guided in a header. The goal breathed life into the hosts, with Lucas Paquet\u00e1 and Kyle Walker-Peters testing goalkeeper Dean Henderson as the pressure mounted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet, Palace showed their resilience. Tyrick Mitchell arrived unmarked at the back post to volley home a sensational finish, restoring the Eagles\u2019 lead. He could have had a brace, but fired wide with the goal gaping. West Ham, surprisingly, failed to mount a late charge, and their lack of urgency proved costly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
