Conor Gallagher scored the first goals of Patrick Vieira's Crystal Palace reign as West Ham's winning start to the season came to a frustrating end in a belting London derby.
The Hammers were on course to make it three wins out of three when Spaniard Pablo Fornals scored in the 39th minute after playing a slick one-two with forward Michail Antonio.
But Palace were much better after half-time and levelled when midfielder Gallagher, who is on a season-long loan from Chelsea, found the target.
In-form Antonio thought he had won it when he rifled past Vicente Guaita for his fourth goal of the campaign - and his 50th in the Premier League.
However, Gallagher's clever turn and finish - after James McArthur's pass - earned battling Palace their second point of the season.
Palace boss Vieira later said: "We knew it was going to be difficult. We came here with a really good game plan. In the first half we played with the hand break on, but we were brave enough to put the pressure on them in the second half.
"We deserved the two goals and the point. This game will give us confidence and belief for the rest of the season. There is more to come from this team.
"Conor Gallagher was fantastic. He worked really well and gave use a lot of energy."
