Crystal Palace 1 West Ham 1: Zaha claims late point

Wilfried Zaha scored a crucial equaliser on his return from suspension as Crystal Palace drew 1-1 with West Ham in the Premier League at Selhurst Park.

West Ham captain Mark Noble's first goal of the season came via the penalty spot and ensured the visitors held the half-time advantage.

Palace dominated after the break, but just as it looked like a leveller would elude them – James McArthur having missed a glorious chance – Zaha's heavily deflected effort secured a valuable point.

Roy Hodgson's men are now unbeaten in four games, while West Ham have failed to win any of their past five matches in all competitions.

A fortunate one-two between Zaha and McArthur led to the forward's shot from six yards taking a massive deflection off Issa Diop to beat Fabianski at his near post.
