West Ham 3-0 Fulham: 5 Things We Learned

By Simon Collings /

West Ham moved three points clear of the relegation zone this Saturday following a one-sided victory over Fulham at Upton Park. Goals from Mohamed Diame, Cartlon Cole and Joe Cole saw the Hammers pick up a 3-0 win over their London neighbours, a result that undoubtedly increases the growing pressure on Fulham manager Martin Jol. Indeed Jol cut a crestfallen figure after the game, admitting that his future as the Cottager's boss is not in his hands. This latest defeat sees Fulham remain in the relegation places, only three points from safety but also only three points above bottom-placed Crystal Palace. In what may turn out to be a crucial game in the tenureship of Martin Jol, WhatCulture looks back on the 90 minutes to examine what we can learn from the performance.
