West Ham 3 - 1 Fulham

West Ham stopped Fulham going on a 10 game unbeaten run on Sunday.

West Ham are now 5 games unbeaten after Di Michele scored after 6mins to put the hammers in front. Old West Ham full back John Pantsil was to blame for the goal. Then Paul Konchesky another ex hammer was also to blame for the next goal has he hit is first for Fulham from 30 yards out.

With the teams level at half time a Konchesky mistake let Carlton Cole through and he was tripped up in the area by Konchesky who's fortunes were turning. Once the ref had pointed to the spot Mark Noble had put the Hammers back in front. This was West Ham's first penalty of the season and they were the longest team to go through to this stage of the season without getting a penalty. Then a fantastic break from the hammers saw Collison pass to Di Michele who put a great ball through and Cole did the rest making it 5 in 5 for him.

So West Ham climbed above Fulham by the end of the game and saw them self in 8th place after a vintage performance from Carlton Cole.
