Jordan Ayew's late goal gives Crystal Palace the derby win over West Ham United

Jordan Ayew scored for the third time in the Premier League this season as Crystal Palace claimed a 2-1 win over London rivals West Ham United.

The first half was a drab affair with no goal action, but things came to life after the break, with Sebastian Haller giving the Hammers the lead in the 54th minute.

Patrick van Aanholt went on to equalise for the visitors nine minutes later.

Following a VAR check, the goal which was initially ruled offside has been awarded after it was deemed that Martin Kelly was onside when he headed the ball across goal for Ayew to tuck home#WHUCRY

It looked like both sides were going to share the spoils until Ayew popped up for the winner three minutes from time, tapping in from Martin Kelly's knockdown ball.
