Pereira On Target Twice As Fulham Beat West Ham 2-0
Andreas Pereira scored twice to give Fulham a rare win at West Ham in the Premier League.
The mistake was leapt upon by Pereira, who swerved past Lukasz Fabianski before slotting into an empty net.
The Brazilian doubled the visitors’ lead when he tapped in from close range at London Stadium.
It is the first time the Cottagers have won a Premier League game at West Ham since 2001.
Victory completed Fulham’s league double over the Hammers – their first since the 1965-66 season – and lifted them up to 12th in the table.
David Moyes’ West Ham side failed to boost their chances of European qualification by jumping above Newcastle and Manchester United into sixth.
There was a lengthy stoppage just before the end of normal time after George Earthy – only minutes into his league debut for West Ham – suffered a nasty head injury when colliding with team-mate Edson Alvarez.
Earthy, 19, appeared to lose consciousness after his head hit the turf and received medical attention for about seven minutes before being carried off on a stretcher and replaced by Maxwel Cornet.
