Summerville Goal Sends West Ham Closer to Safety

Crysencio Summerville's seventh goal in 10 games helped West Ham secure a deserved victory over Fulham, closing the gap on relegation rivals.

West Ham's remarkable turnaround under Nuno Espírito Santo continued with a crucial win that sees them close on Nottingham Forest and Tottenham. The Hammers remain in the bottom three but have clear momentum after capitalizing on an unfocused Fulham performance.

Summerville's strike, coming after an error from Bernd Leno midway through the second half, was enough to lift Nuno's side within a point of Spurs and goal difference of Forest. While still in the relegation zone, the direction of travel is positive for West Ham as they fight for survival.
