# Results: Palace fans vote on best players from West Ham game

Crystal Palace ended up having to come from behind to earn a crucial point at Upton Park, a point that keeps them seven above the drop-zone.

Palace took the lead thanks to a rare Damien Delaney goal, but their advantage was quickly cancelled out by Manuel Lanzini’s equaliser.

A wonderful free-kick from Dimitri Payet put the home side in front before Cheikhou Kouyate was harshly dismissed.

Dwight Gayle’s strike eight minutes later gave Alan Pardew’s side a foothold in the game, but in the end, neither side could score a crucial third goal to earn a victory.

Most Palace fans would have taken a point if offered it before the game, but having taken an early lead and also having played against ten men for 25 minutes or so, the Eagles certainly had a chance to get a much-needed win.

We asked the fans to vote on who the best Palace players were in the match using our duel feature.

Our Duel feature presented the fans with two players and they selected which of the two they thought had a better game. We went through all of the players in a ‘winner stays on’ type vote.

Here’s who came out on top:
