West Ham United gained their first English Premier League points of the season with a 3-1 win over Crystal Palace, who are still without a manager following the pre-season departure of Tony Pulis, on Saturday.
The victory was achieved thanks to two first half goals in three minutes from Argentine debutant Mauro Zarate and Stewart Downing, and a second half volley from Carlton Cole, Sport24 reported.
Marouane Chamakh scored for Palace before Cole's third for West Ham, the report added.
