Dwight Gayle's equalizer earned Crystal Palace a 2-2 draw at Upton Park, with Cheikhou Kouyate's red card costing West Ham the victory.

West Ham had Cheikhou Kouyate sent off and saw its Champions League qualification hopes suffer a blow as Dwight Gayle equalized to earn Crystal Palace a 2-2 draw in the Premier League at Upton Park.

The hosts came from behind to lead after Adrian's error from Bakary Sako's free kick presented Palace defender Damien Delaney with the opening goal on Saturday.

West Ham hit back almost immediately, Manuel Lanzini scoring with a neat finish after Palace failed to clear Michail Antonio's cross into the box.
