Crysencio Summerville's first-half goal secured a 1-0 victory for West Ham at Craven Cottage, delivering a crucial three points in their battle against relegation. The Dutch forward capitalized on a defensive lapse to fire home the decisive strike, giving the Hammers their first win in four matches.

The victory lifts David Moyes' side to 15th place in the Premier League table, four points clear of the relegation zone with five games remaining. Fulham, who had won three of their last four at home, struggled to break down a resolute West Ham defense that kept their third clean sheet in four matches.

For West Ham, the result represents a significant step toward securing their Premier League status for another season. The win comes at a critical juncture, with upcoming fixtures against fellow strugglers Crystal Palace and Leicester offering opportunities to extend their cushion over the drop zone.
