Palace win London derby, Spurs gain point at Amex as Leeds compound Wolves woes

Crystal Palace secured a narrow win to claim victory on the London derby over Westham United at the London Stadium.

The Eagles went into the derby off the back of a penalty shootout win over Milwall in the Carabao Cup round of sixteen in midweek.

Marc Guehi came close to giving the Eagles the lead moments before the first goal but his header came off the bar.

Jean-Phillipe Marteta eventually put the visitors ahead after 37 minutes with a header from rebound to register his second league goal of the season.

The first half ended with the visitors in control of proceedings with a goal to their advantage.

However, Jarrod Bowen restorws parity a few minutes into the second half with a brilliant header from a corner kick by Malick Diouf.

The scoreline remained a goal-apiece until the 68th minute when Tyrick Mitchell latched on a rebound to give Crystal Palace the lead again.

Palace held on to their lead this time as the match ended 2-1.

Tottenham fight back at the Amex.

Meanwhile, in the South Coast, Tottenham came back from two goals down to earn a point at Brighton Hove and Albion.

Yankuba Minteh and Yasin Ayari scored in the first half to put the Seagulls into a comfortable lead after the half hour mark.

With two minutes into the break, Brazilian forward Richarlison reduced the deficit with a composed finish from a brilliant Mohammed Kudus pas into the box.

The introduction of Xavi Simmons gave the visitors creativity in attack as the Dutch attacking midfielder forced a save off Verbruggen.

Tottenham Hotspur continued to pile the pressure and with eight minutes into the 90, Jan Paul van Hecke put the ball into his net from a defected cross by Mohammed Kudus.

Leeds compound Wolves woes

Leeds United compounded the woes of Wolverhampton Wanderers as they left the Molineaux with a 3-1 win.

The victory put the Wolves winless with five matches into the Premier League season.
