Summerville Goal Fires West Ham Past Fulham

Crysencio Summerville's seventh goal in ten games secured a crucial victory for West Ham as they moved closer to relegation rivals Nottingham Forest and Tottenham.

West Ham looked damaged beyond repair when they fell seven points below Nottingham Forest in early January, but two months on they have a remarkable turnaround. While they remain in the bottom three, Nuno Espírito Santo's side gained momentum with a deserved victory over Fulham, closing the gap to their rivals.

The Hammers capitalized on an unfocused performance from Fulham, with Summerville scoring after a Bernd Leno error midway through the second half. West Ham now know survival is within reach as they continue their fight for Premier League safety.
