After winning in Graham Potter's debut, West Ham slumped right back into their toothless form with a 2-0 home defeat to Crystal Palace.

West Ham United and Crystal Palace both get a chance with a Saturday matchup in London to close the gap with the current top eight sides in the English Premier League.

Palace's first goal, scored in the 48th minute, was the 10th the Hammers have conceded in the first 15 minutes of the second half in Premier League games this season - more than any other club except Leicester. This was West Ham's 10th league defeat of the season, and they are 10 points above the relegation zone.

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.

West Ham United manager Graham Potter admits his side struggled to keep up Crystal Palace's instensity in their 2-0 defeat.

Philippe Mateta has ever taken, but it manages to sneak into the West Ham goal to double Crystal Palace's lead over the Hammers.

West Ham United fans expect new manager Graham Potter to bring some style back to their team's football after a dispiriting and brief Julen Lopetegui reign but the new coach was happy to win ugly against Fulham on Tuesday.

Crystal Palace have gone seven consecutive away games without losing for the first time in their top-flight history (W4 D3). They've also kept a clean sheet in each of the past three, equalling their longest run without conceding away from home in the Premier League (a run of three in December 2017).

Graham Potter admitted he has problems to fix at both ends of the pitch after Crystal Palace condemned him to a first Premier League defeat as West Ham United manager.
