POTTER ON ROPES

Hammer house of horror as fans call for triple change

- BY STEVE JUDGE

FORGET about turning the corner, West Ham can't even defend one - or crosses in general.

Graham Potter's Hammers conceded a Premier League-worst seventh goal from a corner when Jean-Philippe Mateta bundled Palace in front on 37 minutes.

They were lucky not to fall further behind when Maxence Lacroix headed against the bar from another set piece just after halftime.

Then more defensive frailties dealing with crosses into the box allowed Tyrick Mitchell to slam in the winner after Jarrod Bowen had ironically notched from a corner of their own.
