Match Report

West Ham snatched all three points at Craven Cottage on Wednesday night, beating Fulham 1-0 thanks to a moment of ruthless opportunism from Crysencio Summerville. The Dutch winger pounced on a nightmare mix-up between Bernd Leno and Calvin Bassey to slot home in the 65th minute — his seventh goal in his last ten appearances. The first half was a dull affair with neither side able to carve out anything meaningful in the final third. Fulham thought they had a breakthrough early in the second half when Tom Cairney went down in the box, but the referee waved it away after checking the pitchside monitor. Summerville needed no second invitation when the chance arrived. Leno's miscommunication with Bassey left the ball loose, and the in-form winger calmly guided his finish into the empty net. Jarrod Bowen picked up the assist after his initial pass forced the error. The result is a lifeline for Graham Potter's side, who moved level on points with 17th-placed Nottingham Forest and are now outside the drop zone only on goal difference. For Fulham, a flat night at home raises questions about their end-of-season form. The survival race just got tighter — and Summerville looks like the man who could drag West Ham out of trouble.
