West Ham Edges Fulham in Tight London Derby on Late Goal
LONDON (Interstat) — Substitute Crysencio Summerville scored in the 65th minute to give West Ham United a 1-0 victory over Fulham in a Premier League match Wednesday at Craven Cottage.
The decisive play was crafted by fellow substitute Jarrod Bowen, who provided the assist. The goal defied a pregame projection that heavily favored West Ham but forecast a 1-1 draw. The match was a physical affair, with six yellow cards issued, including two in stoppage time.
With the result, West Ham begins its Premier League campaign with a win, while Fulham starts with a loss. Both clubs see their overall season records mirror those league marks. The game was the only fixture in England’s top flight on March 4, 2026.
