West Ham moved up into the Champions League places with a 3-1 win over 10-man Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

Carl Jenkinson put West Ham ahead in the 22nd minute, before Palace midfielder Yohan Cabaye equalised from the spot just moments later.

After winning the penalty, Dwight Gayle went from hero to zero before half-time, receiving a second yellow for a needless foul on Cheikhou Kouyate.

The Hammers left it late to retake the lead, Manuel Lanzini scoring two minutes from time from close range, before Dimitri Payet finished deep in stoppage time for 3-1.

The result leaves West Ham on 17 points from their nine games, and the win was their fourth away success of the season.

After a frantic start, the visitors took the lead through defender Jenkinson, who was found superbly behind the defence by Victor Moses, before slotting under Wayne Hennessey from 12 yards.

But a minute later Jenkinson was at fault for bringing down Gayle just inside the area, allowing Cabaye the chance to equalise from the penalty spot.

Palace had a fine chance to take the lead before half-time, but Puncheon's centre to an unmarked Wilfried Zaha was slightly behind the winger, and they went into the break with 10 men after Gayle's second booking.

First, the forward cynically brought down Payet in midfield, and then 13 minutes later went flying in on Kouyate deep inside the West Ham half, catching the midfielder for a clear second yellow.

West Ham piled on the pressure in the second half, hitting the post through Diafra Sakho's effort after Jenkinson's cross, but the introduction of striker Andy Carroll was telling.

With two minutes remaining, Carroll nodded down a cross towards Lanzini, who smashed home from eight yards to put Slaven Bilic's side ahead again.

And there was time for another goal through Payet, who picked up Lanzini's through ball before chipping over the onrushing Hennessey.
