West Ham's chances of qualifying for European competitions took a hit with a 2-0 loss to Fulham at home. This comes after their defeat against Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League quarter-final. Fulham's victory marks their first away win against West Ham since 2001 and their first league double over their London rivals since 1966.
West Ham ’s European hopes suffered a second blow in the space of four days after a meek 2-0 home defeat by Fulham .
It was the first time the Cottagers had won away to West Ham since 2001 and having dominated the reverse fixture 5-0 in December, they completed a league double over their London rivals for the first time since 1966.Yet West Ham should have gone ahead in the opening moments when Lucas Paqueta’s ball over the top saw right-back Vladimir Coufal burst into the area.
But despite their bright start, West Ham conceded to Fulham’s first attack after nine minutes, a goal which would have had manager David Moyes tearing his hair out. Pereira almost had a second moments later when he slid in to meet Willian’s inviting cross, but he guided it wide.
