West Ham shrugged off Dimitri Payet's absence as an Andy Carroll wonder-strike helped secure a 3-0 win over Crystal Palace.
Payet shocked the Hammers this week by asking to leave the club and refused to play against the Eagles in the London derby.
But Sofiane Feghouli's first Premier League goal, Carroll's stunning bicycle kick and a stylish late third from Manuel Lanzini ensured the France star was not missed.
Indeed, West Ham actually put in their finest display of the season while their so-called talisman kicked his heels elsewhere.
West Ham's fans certainly made their feelings about their former favourite abundantly clear with a less complimentary take on their 'We've got Payet' terrace chant.
The Hammers needed a win to end a depressing week on a high as well as halt a run of three straight defeats, and they did just that against former boss Sam Allardyce, who is still without a victory since taking over at Crystal Palace last month.
