West Ham vs Fulham LIVE
Premier League 2018-19
Venue: London Stadium
Referee: Lee Mason
Ryan Babel's first Premier League goal since December 2010 handed Fulham a 1-0 lead over West Ham at half time at the London Stadium.
But after a series of corners in the first half, West Ham found their equaliser in controversial fashion.
Michail Antonio towered above the Fulham defence to nod towards Angelo Ogbonna and after a touch from the defender, Javier Hernandez bundled the ball over the line to make it 1-1. But replays showed the Mexican appearing to use his hand to divert the ball goalwards.
West Ham continued to show their aerial prowess from corners and took the lead with five minutes to go before the break. Robert Snodgrass delivered a sumptuous corner to the near post and Issa Diop headed beyond Sergio Rico.

Score prediction: West Ham 2-0 Fulham
West Ham have stabilised of late after a concerning run that included that humiliating FA Cup defeat to AFC Wimbledon and should have enough to see off a Fulham side utterly devoid of form and confidence.
The Whites remain the only top-flight team not to win a single away fixture this season, drawing two and losing 11 of their 13 games on the road to date.
