Glenn Murray nets brace and sees red as Crystal Palace beat West Ham

Glenn Murray scored two goals and was sent off as Crystal Palace recorded their biggest ever league win over West Ham with a 3-1 victory at Upton Park.

Murray, making only his second away start in the Premier League, opened the scoring towards the end of the first half as his goal-bound header was deflected past his own keeper by Aaron Cresswell.

Scott Dann doubled Palace’s lead early in the second half, heading in Jason Puncheon’s corner at the far post before Murray added a more clear-cut second, again nodding in a Puncheon free-kick.

Having been somewhat lucky to avoid a second yellow for an earlier challenge, Murray then saw red for a second booking following his challenge in the box on Winston Reid and although West Ham pulled one back through Enner Valencia, Palace held out for a deserved victory.

14’ – NOBLE HITS THE WOODWORK: His dipping free kick cannons off the bar.

30’ – GOOD SAVE ADRIAN: Puncheon plays Murray in on goal but his shot is well saved by Adrian.

38’ – ADRIAN SAVE: The West Ham keeper is again called into action to save with his feet from Murray at the near post.

41’ – GOAL! West Ham 0-1 Crystal Palace: Murray’s goalbound header from Puncheon’s corner is deflected past his own keeper by Cresswell.

51’ – GOAL! West Ham 0-2 Crystal Palace: Scott Dann heads home Jason Puncheon’s corner.

63’ – GOAL! West Ham 0-3 Crystal Palace: Murray heads home a second, again from Puncheon’s superb delivery.

67’ – NENE HITS WOODWORK! His curling effort cannons back off the post.

68’ – MURRAY SEES RED: He’s sent off for a second bookable offence.

76’ – GOAL! West Ham 1-3 Palace: Valencia nets his first home goal but too little, too late.

Murray is the fourth Palace player to have scored more than once in a Premier League London derby for the Eagles (after Dwight Gayle v Fulham in May 2014, John Salako v Arsenal in Oct 1994 & Eddie McGoldrick in Dec 1992) – all four instances have come away from home.

Crystal Palace have scored three goals in a top-flight London derby away from home for only the third time – after their 3-1 win at QPR in Dec 1992 & 3-0 Div 1 win at Wimbledon in May 1991.

West Ham have conceded three Premier League goals in a London derby for the first time since their 3-1 defeat at Arsenal in April 2014, and first time at Upton Park since their 3-1 home defeat against the Gunners in Dec 2013.

Murray's crazy game. Scored two and got send off. Glenn Murray will be the talk of the town after scoring twice and seeing red. Not every day that happens.

Jason Puncheon (Crystal Palace): Full of running all day long and his excellent deliveries resulted in three Palace goals.
