West Ham earn crucial point at Palace to confirm Wolves’ relegation

Crystal Palace were held to a goalless draw by West Ham United in the Premier League at Selhurst Park on Monday evening.

The hosts made a bright start and were almost rewarded with the opener five minutes into the game when Jorgen Strand Larsen met Tyrick Mitchell’s low cross, but his effort flew wide before Valentin Castellanos fired over at the other end.

Moments later, Brennan Johnson had a golden chance to open the scoring from Jefferson Lerma’s cross, but he failed to connect, and the ball drifted wide before the Welshman curled another effort just past the post minutes later.

In the 41st minute, Dean Henderson flapped at a header and gifted Castellanos a chance from close range, but Maxence Lacroix produced a crucial goal-line block to deny his acrobatic effort.

On the stroke of half-time, Konstantinos Mavropanos came close to opening the scoring after he met El Hadji Malick Diouf’s cross, but Henderson kept out his header before Mitchell dragged his effort wide of the far post at the other end.
