Summerville Goal Lifts West Ham Past Fulham

Crysencio Summerville scored his seventh goal in ten games to secure a vital victory for West Ham over Fulham.

West Ham continued their remarkable turnaround with a deserved victory over Fulham, closing the gap on relegation rivals Nottingham Forest and Tottenham. The Hammers remain in the bottom three but are gaining momentum after falling seven points off the pace in early January.

Summerville capitalized on an error from Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno to score the decisive goal, helping Nuno Espírito Santo's side secure their first win in four games. While still below Forest on goal difference and a point off Spurs, the direction of travel is clear as West Ham scrap for survival.
