Would Fulham's desire to get into the European conversation prevail or would it be the Hammers' survival instincts? The first half offered few clues. The game was a morass of mistakes and scrappiness. It always seemed likely that an error would decide it and it was the Hammers who made the most of it when C

Fulham (1) 1 Mykolenko OG 18’ Everton (0) 2 Dewsbury-Hall 75’, Leno OG 83’   Fulham’s European ambitions took a hit as they surrendered a lead to lose against Everton.

Exclusive by Alessandro Schiavone Former Fulham defender Marlon Fossey has spoken exclusively to Capital Football to recall his days at the club, a potential return to England and the odds of ex-teammate and friend Harvey Elliott sealing a return to Craven Cottage... and the fans' potential uproar. His memories of Fulham : "I had a competitive game in the Carabao Cup. It could have been a lot more but I learned a lot at the club. I grew as a man and was around a lot of first-

Match day at the Cottage : Picture by @YTJourno Premier League Fulham (0) 2 Chukwueze 72, Wilson 90+2 Brighton (1) 1 Ayari 28 They do love their injury time goals against the Albion. Fulham repeated their trick from the opening weekend of the season when an injury time goal saved the day - and a point - at Brighton - here it was the magical boot of Harry Wilson doing the trick.

There is still plenty of capital interest in the FA Cup, but little action will take place on London on the weekend of the fourth round ties - February 15/15. Arsenal are the only ones to get a home tie - with League One Wigan Athletic being handed a clash with the Gunners at Emirates Stadium. For the rest of our teams, travel is involved.

And these days he hardly gets any minutes on the pitch. But Harrison Reed made full use of the five minutes he was given by Marco Silva to crash in a point-saving worldie. So often it is Harry Wilson who comes up with the spectacular. This time it was Reed. He only came on for Sasa Lukic in the 92nd mi

West Ham United (0) 0 v Fulham (0) 1 Raúl Jiménez 85 By Kaz Mochlinski at the London Stadium Premier League Matchweek 18 This was the one that brought them to tears. Ollie Scarles could not stop himself crying very visibly on the pitch at the final whistle, after his mistake led to the winning goal in the closing stages, but most of West Ham United’s faithful must have felt very similarly. The Hammers’ growing gloom got ever greater on a grey winter afternoon as they were con

Fulham may have been off-key but they struck the right note with Silva : Picture @capitalfootball It may end up as the least memorable match at Craven Cottage all season, but its importance cannot be overlooked. Fulham ensured a struggling Nottingham Forest just below them in the table were further distanced, thanks to a penalty from Raul Jimenez in first-half injury time.
