Crystal Palace player ratings vs West Ham as Conor Gallagher double earns visitors a point

Vincente Guaita - Was a busy man in the first half as West Ham fired in several consecutive crosses and corners. Little he could do about the opener. 6

Joel Ward - Saved Andersen from embarrassment with his clearance off the line. Was pinned back for much of the game with little help from Ayew. 6

Marc Guehi - More minutes under the belt from Guehi in his first full season of Premier League football. Allowed Benrahama to run past him early in the second half and get a shot away. 6

Joachim Andersen - A mix-up with Guaita and an odd header almost gifted West Ham their opener. Failed to deal with Antonio for his goal. 5

Tyrick Mitchell - Set a tough task up against Jarred Bowen and Said Benrahama but held his own. 6

Cheikhou Kouyate - Failed to match the intensity of Declan Rice and Tomas Soucek in the first half. Made some important headed clearances in the second period. 6

Conor Gallagher - Had a slow first half but still wanted the ball at his feet as much as possible. Rewarded for his hard work with two beautifully taken goals in the second half. Both times he was under pressure with West Ham players all around him but both times he had the composure to turn and find the net. 9

James McArthur - A solid performance from the captain but might have offered more moving the ball forwards. 6

Wilfried Zaha - Another player who started the game slowly but grew into it. Lovely link-up play with Ayew at times in the second half but there's still a feeling that we're not seeing the best of Zaha so far this season. 6

Jordan Ayew - Grew into the game like many of his teammates but put in a gutsy display nonetheless to push Palace forward when needed. 7

Christian Benteke - Another difficult day at the office but Vieira will be happy with how his striker knocked down the header for Gallagher for their first goal. 6
