West Ham attacking midfielder Manuel Lanzini delivered yet another sublime goal as the Hammers edged past Crystal Palace 3-2 at Selhurst Park.
David Moyes’ side were at one stage in cruise control when the 28-year-old doubled the lead before a late penalty in the first half made it a three-goal cushion at the break.
However, a late comeback made for a nervy ending for Moyes’ men as the Irons just about held on to all three points.
Unsurprisingly it was Lanzini’s magical strike that took the social media headlines from a whole range of supporters after the Argentinian danced around Palace defenders on the edge of the penalty area before unleashing a pinpoint volley.

READ WEST HAM VERDICT
Stunning.
During an injury-induced stop-start career in East London, the former River Plate ace has certainly come up with his fair share of magic moments.
This was a technical masterpiece filled with poise, panache and all the grace you’d expect from the talented £9million valued man.
With Said Benrahma now heading off to AFCON, Moyes will be delighted another of his creative star’s is producing such moments.
