A classic it was not. But if West Ham narrowly stay up, this goalless draw will be one of the bricks in the wall that kept them up. The Hammers are not yet there, though, with another big game this weekend against Everton. It will be interesting to see if West Ham are still clear of Tottenham come the end of the weekend – Spurs travel to now-relegated Wolves.

Thanks for reading, and for your emails. Until next time! Cheers!
Nuno Espírito Santo, West Ham manager, speaks to Sky Sports.
We performed well. We expect the best but we were compact in a difficult place in Selhurst Park. Our final pass was not quite there, though. Palace are a tough team to play against, with a big threat on the counter attack. We kept the balance and we were solid. Saturday [against Everton at home] we go again. We know we have to do better. It’s very tight.
Palace manager Glasner gives his own (rather bland) interview and goes out of his way to defend Brennan Johnson, who is without a goal in his last 27 appearances. “His best game,” claims Glasner.
The Austrian also confirms that he will give his Palace players two days off before the squad resume training this Thursday to prepare for Saturday’s trip to Anfield. The games come thick and fast for Palace, who then have to prepare for that Conference League semi-final first leg against Shakhtar Donetsk in Krakow, Poland in 10 days, a week on Thursday.
