A crazy afternoon at Selhurst Park saw more goals than what the home of Crystal Palace has seen in the entire year prior to West Ham's arrival.
Roy Hodgson's interim appointment couldn't have worked better with the club now all but certain of their Premier League survival as they picked up another three valuable three points.
But that wasn't the case for West Ham who's relegation concerns are now becoming a serious and realistic threat for David Moyes and his squad.
The Hammers are just five points above the drop and erratic performances such as Saturday's 4-3 defeat don't inspire much defensive confidence.
