Crystal Palace turned the heat up on Graham Potter as they dispatched West Ham 2-1 in another limp performance from Potter's hapless Hammers.

Sky Sports News' Kaveh Solhekol reported this week that Potter was under real pressure in this fixture with the club's owners expecting a reaction after going seven games winless at home, including losing 5-1 to Chelsea and 3-0 to Spurs.

But the same old problems were on show for the Hammers as they conceded their sixth goal direct from a corner when Jean-Philippe Mateta opened the scoring. Jarrod Bowen did level the game but Tyrick Mitchell's volley from close range won it for Palace.

This latest London derby defeat means West Ham, who were booed off by a disgruntled home crowd, are now winless in eight home Premier League games and have taken just three points from a possible 15 this season.

Palace fans chanted "you're getting sacked in the morning" to Potter, with some of the West Ham fans joining in.

Potter, who has won only six of his 25 matches in charge, was left cutting a forlorn figure on the touchline as West Ham's inability to deal with corners was ruthlessness exposed by Palace.

Potter said he had been working on defending set-pieces all week, and even dropped new goalkeeper Mads Hermansen in favour of the more imposing Alphonse Areola but it made little difference when Mateta headed home after Marc Guehi had struck the bar.

Palace won another corner 30 seconds into the second half and this time Adam Wharton's cross was headed on to the crossbar by Maxence Lacroix.

West Ham did not manage a single shot at goal from open play during the first half but out of nowhere Bowen headed them level just after the break. But West Ham's luck ran out when Palace went ahead again with Mitchell sending a powerful volley home and the response from the Hammers, with their manager's job hanging by a thread, was non-existent.

Potter 'feeling the pressure' after defeat

Graham Potter speaking at his press conference:

"Everyone at the club feels that pressure because the situation isn't what we want. You have to face it up."

Asked whether he thinks he has the support of the board, he said: "I have no reason to think not. But I understand the environment and have no complaints with the support I've had from everyone at the club."

Analysis: Fans aren't happy but it runs deeper than Potter

Sky Sports News' Chris Reidy at the London Stadium:

"Here in east London, fans aren't happy, but it runs deeper than on the pitch.

"The small protest before the match was directed at the board, but chants of 'sack the board' found their way into the ground. From my view, there wasn't a whole lot between the two teams on the pitch but Premier League football is determined by small margins and these are the games West Ham need points from if they wish to remain in this league.

"Another home loss, boos at his substitutions, 'sacked in the morning chants' from both sets of fans and a board onlooking today with eager eyes will bring worry for Potter."

Analysis: Poker-face Potter on the brink

Sky Sports' Lewis Jones:

"Potter is a hard man to read. Perhaps he's a better poker player than football manager in that regard.

"As he strode into his post-match press conference to address a room of journalists ready to poke and probe him on his West Ham future, you wouldn't have been able to tell if his team had won 6-0 or lost 2-1. His emotionless responses were predictable as the West Ham defeat.

"Remember, football is supposed to be an emotional game, played by emotional people, managed in the most emotionally volatile environments. And that's where Potter keeps falling short.

"There's no doubting his coaching credentials. His work at Ostersunds, Brighton, and even in patches at Chelsea paints the picture of a tactician who understands the game at a deep level and he's well admired within coaching circles.

"His problem is that lack of personality. It's going to hold him back from ever making a success of himself at a big club. It's unlikely now he'll get that chance again as his stock continues to fall."

Pino suffers knee injury

Oliver Glasner revealed that Yeremy Pino has suffered a knee injury after his new signing was withdrawn at half-time.

Glasner said: "He had pain in his knee. And we don't know exactly what's it is. So we will assess him tomorrow and he'll have a scan."

The Eagles remain unbeaten this season after the win at West Ham and Glasner added: "We played a good first half and were controlling the game.

"Then, all of a sudden it's 1-1 and West Ham were better. But credit to the players, we turned the game and it was a deserved win.

"The only criticism is that we didn't kill the game when we could have done.

"There are many positives to take but still a lot of potential, and that's good. We deserved the win, but we could have made it a little bit easier."
