West Ham 3-1 Fulham
by Paul Donovan
at London Stadium 

WEST HAM finally ran out comfortable winners of this London derby, after a shaky start.

Three times in the first two minutes the home side presented the visitors with gilt edged chances, with Ryan Babel finally stepping up to convert the third, after missing the first one, following a cross from the left.

It was not until the half hour that West Ham drew level, with a controversial goal involving a hand ball.
