LONDON: Conor Gallagher’s midfielder scored two first league goals of the season for the crystal palace when they held West Ham United in a 2-2 draw at the entertaining derby at the London Stadium on Saturday.
This point lifted the hammer to the first place at the Premier League table, even though David Moyes would feel that they could take three points on the side of the palace who struggled to handle their press.
West Ham leads six minutes before the break with a goal that is done brilliantly as it says Benrahma set Michail Antonio is free through the middle and he and Pablo Photnal exchanges several complicated trails in the box before the finishes are simple.
After two goals’ sightseeing for the palace this season, Gallagher finally got his team’s first league goal under the new boss Patrick Viera 13 minutes to the second round, scooped up the ball home from a tight angle.
The hammer returned to the front when Joachim Andersen was under the high ball by Antonio, who slammed the ball home to register the 50th Premier League goal.
Lead only lasts a few minutes because Gallagher is flattened again with a beautiful turn in the box and a low end result to the lower left corner to make it 2-2 and take a booty.
