Crystal Palace scored three consecutive goals in the first half and then held strong to secure a 4-3 victory over West Ham United in an exciting match, distancing themselves from the relegation battle in the Premier League on Saturday. Palace surpassed their rivals Chelsea in the standings, now sitting in 11th place with 40 points from 34 matches, while Chelsea has only played 32 matches.
Palace attained four wins, one draw, and one loss in six matches since appointing Roy Hodgson in mid-March, and the veteran coach believes his team is now far from relegation despite still being mathematically at risk.
