During West Ham United's 2-0 Premier League victory over Crystal Palace, players Tomas Soucek and Jarrod Bowen saved a ball boy trapped under a collapsed advertising hoarding during goal celebrations. Soucek scored in the 67th minute, prompting a surge of away fans that caused the hoarding to fall on the boy. Both players quickly intervened, with Soucek lifting the hoarding and Bowen pulling the boy to safety. The boy appeared shaken but unhurt and was later led away by stadium security. Bowen then scored West Ham's second goal five minutes later and gave his match shirt to the boy. This match marked West Ham's first win under new manager Julen Lopetegui.
