In Pictures: West Ham 3-1 Fulham

 

West Ham United welcomed Fulham to London Stadium in Sunday's Premier League contest. 

The Irons were on the hunt for a third consecutive win and clean-sheet in all competitions since returning from the international break, while the visiting Cottagers have been in good form since earning promotion back to the Premier League. 

The Cottagers took the early lead in east London when Andreas Pereira latched onto a through-ball and powered an effort over Łukasz Fabiański and into the net.

Gianluca Scamacca went close to equalising on 17 minutes when his headed effort from around eight yards out was saved by Bernd Leno.

The Italian saw another header saved before Pereira fouled Craig Dawson in the penalty box, leaving referee Chris Kavanagh no choice but to point to the spot. Up stepped Jarrod Bowen, who coolly converted his second goal in as many Premier League outings.

West Ham's second came just after the hour mark in stunning fashion. Lucas Paquetá's touch and lobbed pass found Scamacca, who coolly lifted the ball over Leno and into the net. A double VAR check later - for offside and for handball - the goal stood, giving the Irons the lead!

Substitute Michail Antonio wrapped up the win for the Irons in added time, rounding Leno at the second-attempt to slot into an empty net.
