Iwobi, Pereira help Fulham smack West Ham

Fulham took their first chance of the game when Pereira coolly punished a poor touch from Konstantinos Mavropanos.

Pereira came agonisingly close to securing a second from Willian’s cross five minutes later but saw his effort fly wide.

Łukasz Fabiański was kept busy throughout the opening stages, and the goalkeeper stopped Willian’s venomous strike and denied Rodrigo Muniz’s header from the ensuing corner, before Alex Iwobi sent his effort wide.

Having scored just once all season, Pereira applied the simplest of finishes to Iwobi's pass in another blistering move

Paqueta threatened with a speculative effort but Fulham held on for the win.
