LONDON (AP) " West Ham's players shrugged off the unrest surrounding Dimitri Payet by beating Crystal Palace 3-0 in the English Premier League on Saturday, with Andy Carroll scoring from an eye-catching bicycle kick. Payet this week rocked West Ham by asking to leave the club and saying he wouldn't play against Palace. "Payet is a great player so you are losing quality, but the team showed it is about the team and not individuals," West Ham manager Slaven Bilic said. West Ham's fans certainly made their feelings about their former favorite abundantly clear with their chants. Moments later former West Ham player James Tomkins came up with an awful miss from two yards out when he side-footed Andros Townsend's free kick across goal and wide.
