Why Ted Lasso was at West Ham’s Crystal Palace loss as Kurt Zouma record gives cause for concern

West Ham United have found themselves drawn back into the Premier League’s relegation battle with a 4-3 defeat to Crystal Palace on Saturday afternoon at Selhurst Park.

Tomas Soucek had given West Ham an early lead, but Palace then went 3-1 up inside 30 minutes via goals from Jordan Ayew, Wilfried Zaha and Jeffrey Schlupp. Michail Antonio had got a goal back later in the half, that was cancelled out by a controversial Eberechi Eze penalty, given away by Nayef Aguerd, who then added a headed goal of his own.

Here are the talking points from the game, with West Ham now relying on others to do them a favour in the Premier League’s relegation battle.
