LONDON - A spirited Fulham side registered their second straight 5-0 victory in the Premier League on Sunday when they beat West Ham United at home in a one-sided London derby, with five different players getting their names on the score sheet.
Fulham, who also beat Nottingham Forest 5-0 on Wednesday, have hit a purple patch in front of goal in recent weeks and Sunday's win marked the fourth straight game in which they had scored at least three goals.
Marco Silva's side were 3-0 up by the break with goals from Raul Jimenez, Willian and Tosin Adarabioyo, with two of those goals coming from set-pieces.
Harry Wilson then put the cherry on the top when he curled a stunning effort from outside the box in the second half. He then beat the offside trap to set up Carlos Vinicius for a tap-in to consign West Ham to their first defeat in five league games.
