    West Ham have had two shots and have scored them both.

    Sergio Rico hasn't had anything to do apart from twice pick the ball out of his net.

    Fulham should have been able to defend that better.

    They had chances at the other end but then all of a sudden there is the counter-attack, they are 2-0 down and they are asking themselves how? Why?

    Michail Antonio

    But if you can't defend...

    West Ham punish Fulham again and show just how it's done at the other end. Felipe Anderson swings in a lovely cross with his right foot from the left and Javier Hernandez draws two defenders to the near post.

    The Mexican wins the header and flicks it on to Michail Antonio who doesn't have a defender within five yards of him and can stab home. Clinical from the Hammers.

    Mitrovic had to go back across goal but it was a tight angle and he was looking for the impossible really. But how does he get in front of Masuaku, why hasn’t he seen him?

    He is such a weakness as a left back. He is great going forward but defensively you don’t really want to call on him.

    Fulham 0-1 West Ham

    Fulham are going to have to take one of these chances soon. Another good cross comes in, this time by Denis Odoi on the right, and Aboubakar Kamara meets it unmarked six yards out.

    He just tries to guide it on target and the effort doesn't have enough power to beat Fabianski.

    Fulham 0-1 West Ham

    Another chance for Fulham. An attack looks to be fizzling out but Joe Bryan hooks a cross in towards the back post.

    Mitrovic is completely unmarked and sneaks in from nowhere but his header from a tight angle is wide of the near post.

    Hernandez is good to continue.

    Not one Fulham midfield player is making a run forward, even off the ball to ask the centre halves a question.

    They are just standing there. It is very difficult to be a front player for Fulham.

    Javier Hernandez is down clutching his right shin. He's taken a knock from Alfie Mawson. Andy Carroll braves the weather for a jog up the touchline.

    How can Fulham respond? They were the better team in a lively opening 15 minutes but if you don't take your chances...

    It has started pouring down again too.

    Robert Snodgrass

    Nice. A fine hit.

    Robert Snodgrass puts West Ham in front with a powerful, sweeping strike from the edge of the penalty area. The ball is played to him from the left by Felipe Anderson and he just curls it high into the top left corner.

    Fulham's wait for a clean sheet goes on.

    Bobby Seagull: Three wins on the bounce. Unusual feeling (of joy) for a Hammers fan! If we can make the form card read WWWW after Craven Cottage, it might go some way towards redeeming our four game losing LLLL streak at the start of the season.

    The hosts have started well here. "Come on Fulham. Come on Fulham," sing their fans. It's an entertaining game too.

  16. GREAT SAVE!published at 11 mins

    Fulham 0-0 West Ham

    Big save! That man Aboubakar Kamara is played through one-on-one in behind the West Ham defence. He tries to slot a low shot beyond Lukasz Fabianski but the Pole does brilliantly to get down and make the save with a big palm.

    Kamara should have scored.

    Fulham 0-0 West Ham

    Aboubakar Kamara is getting right up alongside Alexsandar Mitrovic for Fulham. They're almost playing as a front two. Calum Chambers gets forward and tries to pick one of them out but the delivery is cut out.

    Soon after Andre Schurlle has a go from distance but it goes over.

    What a noise the West Ham fans are making. That is what happens when you win a few games.

    They have a belief that things are starting to improve.
