West Ham suffered a blow to their hopes of clinching a Champions League spot following a 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace in the London derby.

On-loan Fenerbahce striker Emmanuel Emenike started for the Hammers but was unable to add to his goal tally.

We took a look at social media to find out what West Ham fans made of his performance.

There was quite a lot of excitement – or sarcasm – regarding Slaven Bilic’s decision to start with Emenike.
