Snodgrass on point as West Ham hit form
West Ham soared into the top half after goals from Robert Snodgrass, Javier Hernandez and a Felipe Anderson beauty sank Crystal Palace 3-2.
The Hammers, rock-bottom after losing their first four matches of the season, have now won three on the spin.
They had to come from behind, though, after James McArthur put Palace into a surprise sixth-minute lead.
West Ham drew level three minutes into the second half when Snodgrass curled the ball into the top corner from the edge of the penalty area.
The hosts took the lead in the 62nd minute when Hernandez was on hand to fire into the roof of the net.
Two minutes later, record-signing Anderson scored an exquisite third, bending the ball around Wayne Hennessey and into the corner.
Palace pulled one back through substitute Jeffrey Schlupp with 14 minutes left, but the Hammers held on.
James Tarkowski’s first-half goal secured Burnley their first win in nine league games as they won 1-0 at home to Brighton to move out of the drop zone.
The Clarets, who had picked up just two points from their previous eight matches, scored in the 40th minute when Jack Cork hit a shot and the ball went in off Tarkowski.
The defender almost added a second with a 62nd-minute header before Brighton substitute Jurgen Locadia nodded over from a great position and Solly March struck narrowly wide.
Ralph Hasenhuttl began his reign as Southampton manager with a 1-0 defeat at Cardiff as makeshift striker Callum Paterson delivered again.
Hasenhuttl was brought in after Mark Hughes was sacked on Monday and, mindful that the Titanic had sailed from Southampton, spoke of not “hitting any icebergs” at his first press conference.
But Southampton were sunk by the sort of mistake which has left them in the choppy waters of the relegation zone and cost Hughes his job.
There seemed no danger in the 74th minute when Jannik Vestergaard was in control and seemingly shepherding the ball back to his keeper Alex McCarthy.
Referee Jon Moss was considering bringing the play back for a foul on Cardiff’s Victor Camarasa, but the big Danish centre-back made a hash of his possession.
The split-second was all that Paterson needed and the striker nipped in to score his fourth goal of the season.
