West Ham United vs Fulham

WEST HAM CLING ON! Iwobi crosses low from the right for Muniz, yet it's prodded away. Willian collects and drives in from the left. The prod goalwards is blocked once by Fabianski before the Pole scrambles it behind for a corner! A header down from said set-piece is straight at the keeper, and he just manages to keep it from going over the line!

Palhinha is down after a poor tacle from Ings. Very much a forward's tackle there, as Palhinha gets the ball off and a lazy foot comes down on top of his boot. That'll sting, but Stuart Atwell gives the foul and nothing more, much to the disdain of Silva on the touchline. Robinson then clips an airborn Coufal in the next phase of play.

Palhinha curls wide from the edge after Pereira and Muniz set the West Ham defence panicking once again via this favoured left-side. It comes out to the Portuguese midfielder, yet he can't quite wrap his right boot around the ball and Fabianski can watch it float tamely away.

West Ham United vs Fulham

This has been quite the energetic first half so far, it must be said. It's especially commendable, as both of these squads have the two oldest average starting XIs in the Premier League this season. Fulham (28y 356d) and West Ham (28y 230d).

Silly dispossession like that is costly and Robinson bursts away down the left to cross low. Again, like the goal, West Ham offer a half-clearance and Pereira gets deja-vu. This time he strikes from the edge on the half-volley but it's low and easy enough for Fabianski to crawl onto. Up the other end, Kudus tries a bicycle kick as Antonio pushes on a counter move. The less said about that effort, the better though. It looked like it hurt, if anything...

Alvarez tries a cutting through ball for the Hammers, however it's struck to clean with his laces and it pings nicely for Leno who collcets with ease.

Paqueta has a shot from range as his side come forward. Fulham are steadfast in their blocking though, and it ricochets away. Ward-Prowse looked to be down just now, as we've seemingly entered another mini cagey period heading towards the half-hour mark.

Silva's men have a player down here off the pitch and roars of dissent echo around as play resumes. After a jinking run inside, it was Willian tracking back that got bundled off of Alvarez. The former Chelsea man re-enters the fray clutching his elbow after the referee takes a hold of proceedings.

Willian tries a chipped ball over the top the home defence as Muniz looks to dart in behind. Mavropanos is wise to it and intercepts. That'll be good for the Greek, as his botched attempted interception for the goal was a real gift for the visitors.

West Ham United vs Fulham

For West Ham, this shock goal with Fulham's first shot of the game will be more than frustrating as they look to cement a more imposing home atmosphere. On home soil this season, West Ham have secured 25 points (W6 D7 L3) from a possible 48 on offer in 16 Premier League contests.
