Soucek double sends West Ham fourth

Tomas Soucek scored twice as West Ham United climbed to fourth with a comeback victory over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

Palace took an early lead when Wilfried Zaha fired in a fine shot from the edge of the area after only three minutes.

Six minutes later, West Ham equalised when Michail Antonio flicked the ball back for Soucek to head in.

On 25 minutes, Aaron Cresswell whipped over a free-kick and Soucek volleyed in for a superb second.

Antonio also struck the post twice in the first half, and brought a save from Vicente Guaita after the break, before Craig Dawson's thumping header extended West Ham's lead on 65 minutes.

Substitute Michy Batshuayi tucked in a second for Palace deep into stoppage time but it was not enough to stop West Ham's fourth straight PL win.

They are fourth on 35 points, one ahead of Liverpool, while Palace are 13th on 23 points.
