Michael Olise provided his ninth assist in the Premier League this season as Crystal Palace defeated West Ham 4-3 at Selhurst Park on Saturday.
Only Kevin De Bruyne (16), Bukayo Saka (11) and Leandro Trossard (10) have provided more assists than Olise this season.
After West Ham took the lead in the ninth minute through Tomas Soucek, Palace drew level on 15 minutes thanks to Jordan Ayew with Olise setting him up.
The Black Stars forward finished well after being put through on goal by Olise.
Also on target for Palace was Eberechi Eze, who netted in the 66th minute to put his side 4-2 ahead.
The win took Palace up to 11th on 40 points in the league table.

It is only Nigeria media that is publishing these guys. I hardly see any British media write about him and Eze. We are the ones putting them on limelight but at the end of the day they still commit to England.
Eze scores and Olise bags assist, yes! and so what? I should fry beans? This are unpatriotic folks who don’t want to identify with the mother land.
CS should focus on Nigerians doing well, and not people a whole 200 millions Nigerians are pleading to help us kick football.
Oga please learn how to talk (write) in public!!! How are these guys not patriotic? From all the facts that I have, Eze is British and he plays with the England U21 and Olise is French and he plays for the French U19. So na wetin be your headache with that? Your foolish leaders are patriotic and dem dey embezzle una public fund? And u dey patriotic but we never see you represent 9ja in anything.
Today’s game was heavily influenced by Olise’s assists.
He first generously gave assist to his opponent for Westham’s first goal. I don’t know what he was trying to do, but in attempting to defend a corner kick, he headed the ball directly in the path of Soucek, who smashed the ball home. A moment to forget for the Assist Master.
After that, Olise figured out the correct direction of the opponent’s goal, and proceeded to give 3 assists in the right direction. The well weighted pass that led to Ayew’s goal was the pick of the litter, in my opinion.
Great performances so far from the Assist Master. France call up loading?
