West Ham edge closer to rivals after Summerville’s win

West Ham secured a 2-0 victory over Fulham at the London Stadium, with Crysencio Summerville netting the second goal after a defensive error by Bernd Leno. The win was the first in four games for Nuno Espírito Santo’s side and lifted the Hammers to within a point of Tottenham and a goal difference behind Nottingham Forest.

Despite the win, West Ham remain in the bottom three, trailing Forest on goal difference and one point behind Spurs. However, the result signals a positive turnaround from the early January slump and gives the club momentum as they push for survival.
