FIVE things we learnt from West Ham this lunchtime
This Boxing Day lunchtime West Ham got an invaluable three points and their first Premier League away win of the season as Avram Grant’s men went to Craven Cottage and won 3-1. It really is a huge three points for the Hammers and should kick-start their attempt to join West Brom as the only team to have avoided relegation from the Premier League after being bottom at Christmas.
After going 1-0 down early on, West Ham showed a decent amount of character to get back into the match, even if Carlton Cole’s opener was gift wrapped for him by the Fulham defence. Some more poor defending from Fulham allowed Frederic Piquionne to ghost in unmarked at the back post to put the Hammers ahead on the stroke of half time. West Ham were far more confident after the break and Cole’s second ensured that Grant and the West Ham fans got some Christmas cheer from a result that puts them within touching distance of their relegation rivals.
