Graham Potter Grabs First Win As West Ham Manager
Graham Potter picked up his first win as West Ham United head coach against Fulham in the Premier League.
Having already had a goal disallowed for offside, West Ham went ahead when Carlos Soler capitalised on a loose pass to curl home.
Moments later, a long ball over the top ended in Aaron Wan-Bissaka cutting back for Tomas Soucek to flick into the roof of the net.
Fulham again hit the bar through Raul Jimenez before Alex Iwobi pulled one back, curling in from the left flank as Jimenez put Lukasz Fabianski under pressure.
West Ham’s two-goal advantage was restored when Lucas Paqueta tucked home a loose pass after Danny Ings forced Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno into an error.
Iwobi ensured it when was a nervy finish when another cross drifted in.
West Ham climb to 12th – above Manchester United and Tottenham – and 10 points clear of the drop zone.
Fulham, who had been unbeaten in their past eight Premier League games, are ninth.
