West Ham secured a massive point in their relegation battle after playing out a goalless draw with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park, also sealing Wolves’ relegation to the Championship.

Eagles winger Brennan Johnson had a chance to boost the survival hopes of his former side Tottenham but missed a free header in the first half.

The visitors were not without chances to grab all three points, and it took a big Dean Henderson save to deny Konstantinos Mavropanos before the break.

The result lifts the Hammers two points clear of Spurs, while Palace – who have a game in hand – move within five points of Brentford, who currently occupy the Conference League play-off round position.
