West Ham United secured their first Premier League win of the season with a 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Saturday. Second-half goals from Tomas Soucek and Jarrod Bowen sealed the win.

Both teams had early chances, with Mohammed Kudus and Eberechi Eze coming close. The most significant opportunity fell to the home side when Eze's shot hit the crossbar just before halftime.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka's counter-attack set up Bowen to create the chaos in the Palace defense that led to Soucek's opening goal. Moments later, Bowen scored again, sealing the victory. Despite a late resurgence from Palace, West Ham held on to give their new coach, Julen Lopetegui, his first win.
