West Ham restored their two-point cushion between Tottenham and the bottom three as they drew 0-0 at Crystal Palace to confirm Wolves' relegation from the Premier League.Spurs endured a nightmare weekend, but this result opens the door for Roberto De Zerbi's side in their fight for survival ahead of their trip to Wolves, whose eight-year stay in the top flight has officially been brought to an end. West Ham have given themselves another week outside the drop zone but may look back on this as a missed opportunity with the toughest final five games of all the teams battling relegation.

Henderson made amends shortly after his error by producing a fine save to keep out Konstantinos Mavropanos. The West Ham defender, scorer of two goals in the win over Wolves, perhaps could have done better, his header too close to the keeper. Former Tottenham winger Brennan Johnson, yet to score since his £35m January move, spurned a glorious chance to give Palace an early lead against the run of play, heading well wide when completely unmarked in the box.
