The Hammers took the lead after 54 minutes, Fredericks squaring for Haller to finish past Guaita.

Palace equalised nine minutes later, Patrick van Aanholt scoring from the penalty spot after Declan Rice was penalised for handball.

Ayew scored the winner in the 87th minute, firing home after Martin Kelly headed down Andros Townsend's cross. The goal was awarded by VAR after it had originally been ruled out for offside.
