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

WEST HAM’S steady climb up the table continued on Sunday afternoon, with a hard fought victory over Fulham at the London Stadium.

It was Fulham, though, who struck first, after just four minutes, with Neeskens Kebano breaking down the left to put Andreas Pereira away to fire home into the roof of the net.

Pereira then almost made it two, as Lukasz Fabianski punched out his swerving free kick.Then, Daniel James saw his shot rock back off the bar. Gianluca Scamacca almost levelled, seeing his downward header from a Lucas Paqueta cross, saved low down by Bernd Leno.
