JEAN-PHILIPPE MATETA showed West Ham exactly what they are missing.The Crystal Palace striker made it four goals in his last three games to condemn Graham Potter to a first Premier League defeat as manager.Jean-Philippe Mateta opened the scoring with a great strikeCredit: GettyHe beat Lukasz Fabianski with a low drive from outside of the boxCredit: ReutersKonstantinos Mavropanos was sent off for two yellow cardsCredit: ReutersMateta made it 2-0 from the spotCredit: PAGraham Potter can barely bring himself to watchCredit: ReutersOne superb powerful finish and a late penalty squeezed under Lukasz Fabianski were the difference against a side desperately short of attacking clout.Potter has his first three choices at striker sidelined at West Ham, as they desperately search for help this month.But Mateta looks supremely confident – giving Oliver Glasner no such worries.In tight, tedious games like this – a big man up top can make all the difference.READ MORE ON FOOTBALLWest Ham did not have a single shot on target and also saw Konstantinos Mavropanos sent off.Potter claimed his first victory as West Ham manager on Tuesday, but shifted things around from midweek – to little effect.After the most complete performance of his Hammers career, Carlos Soler could only make the bench follow a knock.That left the Hammers with Mohammed Kudus and Lucas Paqueta as their only two attacking options on the pitch as they moved to a back five to match up their visitors.Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSDanny Ings had made a good impact from the bench against Fulham, but has not played 90 minutes all season and remained amongst the substitutes.While Paqueta and Kudus were combining well at times, West Ham were extremely limited across a drab first half.Ludek Miklosko gets emotional as he addresses West Ham fans at 2023 Conference League finalGraham Potter has lost his first game at the London StadiumCredit: ReutersFabianski brought down Nketiah in the boxCredit: PANew Crystal Palace signing Romain Esse was in attendanceCredit: GettyPalace were not much better, though crafted the only real chance of the first 45 minutes, when Lukasz Fabianski saved from Mateta’s first time shot at his near post.England manager Thomas Tuchel, watching from the stands, must have wondered why on earth he had picked this game to attend.It was freezing cold and nothing on the pitch was doing anything to distract from that fact.Soler, who scored his first goal for the club in the week, was fit enough to be introduced at the break.But it was not the Hammers who emerged with added energy, but Palace.They cut through the hosts just three minutes into the second half with an ease that will have Potter concerned.Palace sucked West ham in at the back before Maxence Lacroix lifted the ball towards Ismaila Sarr, who started an electric break.The winger was able to flick on unchallenged for Eberechi Eze, who sent a fine first-time ball through to Mateta, allowing the Frenchman to stand up Max Kilman and rocket a powerful low finish past Fabianski.Potter has looked to bring energy and some aggression to the Hammers, but it was lacking in that moment and brilliantly exploited by Palace.He responded with three more brave changes before the hour – hooking Paqueta for Ings while also throwing on academy graduates Ollie Scarles and Lewis Orford, the latter making his debut.With two of their own out on the pitch trying to get things going, the Hammers fans finally sounded engaged.There are simple ways to a football fan’s heart, and trusting in youth is one of the most straightforward – especially at the club which brands itself the Academy of Football.If you cannot deliver a result, decisions like that can buy some time.The move to a back four had at last given Palace something to think about, but they were coping well, Marc Guehi mopping things up with composure at the back.The closest West Ham came to causing Dean Henderson trouble was a wayward long-range punt from Edson Alvarez.As if to rub West Ham’s noses in their attacking depth, Palace sent on Eddie Nketiah.He could have grabbed his first Premier League goal for the club when played through by Mateta, but Fabianski raced out to stop him.Though the Pole was not as effective in the 89th minute, bringing down the ex-Arsenal man with a mistimed dive at his feet.Mateta revved up the Palace fans before taking the spot kick, which he just smuggled under the diving Fabianski.Any fading hope of an equaliser for West Ham had evaporated before the second goal when, already on a yellow after a challenge early in the second half, Mavropanos hooked his foot into Mateta’s face.READ MORE SUN STORIESWith Jean-Clair Todibo also out injured, Potter must worry about a lack of bodies at the back as well as up top.Sometimes managers must wonder why they get drawn back in.

CRISTIANO RONALDO enjoyed a reasonably priced meal with his proud mum Dolores Aveiro on Sunday evening before she returned home. Dolores travelled to the UK to watch her son, 36, make his Manchester United comeback on Saturday afternoon against Newcastle.

Ronaldo’s beloved mum capped off her trip to England by visiting Piccolino in Hale, Manchester to enjoy a delicious meal.
The Italian restaurant is an affordably priced chain, with a Margherita pizza costing just £11.25 and set menus priced from £32.25 per person.
And pizza is Ronaldo’s guilty pleasure, revealing in 2019: “The key is to take care of your body, train, do your recovery and eat properly.
“Although sometimes I do eat pizza with my son otherwise it would be boring.”
Delores, wearing a stylish Louis Vuitton outfit, posed for a picture with her son and shared it to her 2.3million followers on Instagram.
She wrote: “Good trip, good week to all, kisses!”

Dolores rarely watches Ronaldo play in big games because she gets anxious in the stands and has fainted twice as a result.
But she wasn’t going to miss his Man Utd return for the world and flew to the UK on Friday to watch him score twice against the Magpies.
And Dolores was spotted in tears at Old Trafford as she witnessed and celebrated his remarkable Old Trafford comeback.
She also got the chance to spend some time with her grandchildren, posting two pics of her with Cristiano Jr, 11.
Cristiano Sr revealed how important Dolores is to his success in an interview with Daily Mail columnist Piers Morgan earlier this month.

Ronaldo said: “My mum is the pillar of the family, and what I have today is because she always supported me.
“She worked hard to give her best for her children and especially for me because I’m the youngest in the family.
“She suffered to give me opportunity. I remember when I was 12 and I told her I wanted to go to Lisbon to play with Sporting Lisbon’s youth team.
“She said to me, ‘Son, if it’s really what you want, I’m not going to cut your legs and stop you. You can go. It will be difficult for me to leave you but go. Follow your dreams.'”
