At halftime at every game, we used to show the Antonio header from ******* *****'s panenka cross on the big screens.
There was no such occurrence today (wonder why?)
My guess is they'll replace that with Carroll's amazing goal!
;bowdown
Didn't name him but it sure sent out a message.
Michail Antonio is the first West Ham player to provide three assists in a Premier League game since Paolo Di Canio vs Coventry in April 2000.
Andy Carroll's overhead kick was the pick of the bunch as West Ham saw off their south London rivals in emphatic style and push further away from the relegation zone. Who needs Dimitri Payet when the likes of Manuel Lanzini, Sofiane Feghouli, Michail Antonio and co. are in such great form?
The London Stadium was sent rocking following Feghouli's first goal for the club, following good work by Antonio (who also set up the next two goals, too). Carroll and a sublime Lanzini chip rounded things off in style for the Hammers. Are you watching Dimitri?
Goals: Feghouli (68'), Carroll (79'), Lanzini (86') ;biggrin

Exactly what I thought at the time
;ok
Aside from THE goal what was so great to see was just how much everything matters to Carroll, his desire is amazing.
Winston Reid is the class that keeps the defence bound together and we need be grateful his attitude has always been superb, as his recent form will surely bring interest once again from the likes of Wenger as it did before.
Byram looks a full back even if a little eager and somewhat rash at times, If completely honest a lad with a good future who we are going to ask more than we would like of right now.
Lanzini may enjoy being the brains of the outfit now Payet has gone, but as well as he did today he is not in Payet's league in my view, but he is in our league which will hopefully mean he stays.
Collins always Collins and will never let anybody down.
We will need not get carried away as Palace were very ordinary and had nothing once they went behind and do not look like finding goals, we will need be able to break down teams better than that to see out this season in a way that places us back on the progressive ladder we finished last on.
For today however a brilliant result through a proper team effort which was so much needed after a hard week and that we found that performance gives me even more faith in Slav. He has come through some hard challenges this season, some arguably of his own making and some not, he is rising to them and that shows class. He also has Andy's desire as well clearly as at 3-0 the camera focused in on him in conversation with his number two and his manner and gestures were that of a man trying to work out how to come back from 0-1 with two minutes to go. I am sure he is enjoying it tonight however, and so he should.
Onwards and upwards.
All in all a great day day for us. Upwards and onwards.
