Latest pictures as West Ham beat Crystal Palace 2-1 in behind-closed-doors friendly at the London Stadium

West Ham defeated Crystal Palace 2-1 in a behind-closed-doors friendly at the London Stadium on Saturday.

Sebastien Haller and Jeremy Ngakia were on the scoresheet for the Hammers, while Christian Benteke scored Crystal Palace’s only goal.

West Ham manager David Moyes confirmed to Standard Sport last week that Ngakia would be leaving the club this summer once his contract expires , and his performance – and goal – will have been bittersweet for the Hammers.

The victory makes it two from two for the Hammers following their 4-1 win over QPR as West Ham build up match fitness ahead of their Premier League return on Saturday at home to Wolves.

Ahead of the match, both sides united and posed for a group photo wearing 'We Stand Together' t-shirts to send a powerful anti-racism message in the wake of worldwide protests following the death of George Floyd.
