Andreas Pereira's stellar performance led Fulham to a remarkable victory over West Ham in the Premier League.
Despite a rocky start, Fulham managed to take the lead early on thanks to Konstantinos Mavropanos' error in handling Alex Iwobi's clever cross.
Pereira seized the opportunity, skillfully dribbling past Lukasz Fabianski and calmly putting the ball in the net. He later doubled Fulham's lead with a close-range finish at the London Stadium.
This win marks Fulham's first victory against West Ham in two decades, completing their league double over the Hammers for the first time since the 1965-66 season.
The triumph also elevates Fulham to 12th place in the league standings. The 5-0 triumph over West Ham at Craven Cottage in December now seems like a distant memory, as Fulham had struggled to score in recent matches. However, Pereira's early goal hinted at a potential goal-scoring spree for the visitors.
Throughout the match, Pereira continued to pose a threat to West Ham's defense, nearly scoring with two half-volleys in the first half before eventually finding the net from Iwobi's pass.
Rodrigo Muniz also played a crucial role in applying pressure on West Ham's defense, despite being denied by Fabianski on multiple occasions.
This victory has injected hope into Marco Silva's team as they close in on the seventh position in the table, which secures a spot in European competition, with just an eight-point gap to overcome.
