On target: Gianluca Scamacca scored the winner for West Ham
(Picture: PA)West Ham completed a perfect week as they came from behind to beat Fulham 3-1 and continue their rise up the Premier League table.
Andreas Pereira put the visitors in front early on but Jarrod Bowen equalised from the penalty spot, before Gianluca Scamacca once again got himself on the scoresheet and Michail Antonio sealed the three points in stoppage-time.
It makes it three wins on the bounce since the international break, lifting the Hammers up to 13th and putting the poor start to the season further in the rearview mirror.
Here’s how David Moyes‘ side rated at the London Stadium...
Lukasz FabiaÅski 6
No chance with Pereira thunderbolt, beaten by James strike that hit bar, then hardly worked.
Thilo Kehrer 7
Looks secure as first-choice right-back. So composed in possession. Booked.
Kurt Zouma 7
Completely nullified Carlos Vinicius, who proved no Aleksandar Mitrovic replacement.
Craig Dawson 7
Won penalty by preying on Pereira’s stupidity. Down injured before the break but battled on.
Aaron Cresswell 8
His best performance of the season so far. Should have had an assist when delivering for Scamacca and made two more good chances after the break before crucial block on Cairney.
Declan Rice 6
A touch loose in possession but screened the back-four well and let others get on with in in front of him.
Tomas Soucek 6
Is struggling to influence matches, for all he did not do a great deal wrong. Could have done with more after Flynn Downes’ impressive showing in midweek, though.
Jarrod Bowen 7
Looks to have nailed down the penalty-taker role and sent Leno the wrong way calmly to equalise. Hitting his stride now.
Lucas Paqueta 8
Such a classy operator. Was an expensive addition but looks such a coup that West Ham managed to bring him here.
Pablo Fornals 7
May be the unsung hero it what suddenly looks a star-studded front four but has been crucial so far this term. Some wonderful cross-field passing.
Gianluca Scamacca 8
Looks sharp and full of confidence but missed three first-half chances, one of them particularly glaring. Made up for it with cool finish to win it.
Substitutes
Michail Antonio (Scamacca 80’) 7
Almost set up late clincher for Bowen. Terrible effort when through to clinch it but persistence paid off with rebound.
Emerson Palmieri (Paqueta 84’) N/A
Flynn Downes (Fornals 90’) N/A
