Andreas Pereira's well-taken double either side of half-time saw Fulham win 2-0 at a lacklustre West Ham United as Marco Silva's side got back to winning ways in the Premier League.

The visitors made the short trip across the capital looking to end a three-game win-less run in the league and came across an obliging West Ham team who handed their opponents the opening goal on a plate.

West Ham centre-back Konstantinos Mavropanos' attempted clearance went straight to Pereira in the box, with the Brazilian gratefully accepting the gift as he rounded Lukasz Fabianski and fired home into an empty net to give the Cottagers a ninth-minute lead.

It was Pereira, 28, who doubled Fulham's advantage with 18 minutes to go after a devastating counter-attack led by the attacking midfielder, who exchanged passes with Alex Iwobi, before side footing home past a helpless Fabianski.

The hosts had their own chances, the best of which fell to Michail Antonio, only for the forward to blaze over just four minutes in on what was a frustrating afternoon for David Moyes' men.

As a result, 13th-placed Fulham move level on points with Bournemouth, while West Ham stay in eighth place after missing out on the chance to move above both Man Utd and Newcastle United and into sixth in the table.
