At last! West Ham United achieved a 2-0 victory over a crucial relegation ‘six-pointer’, which has now cut down the gap to Nottingham Forest to just three points.

It was business as usual for the first half for the Hammers. A lovely dribble by Fernandes was followed by a slotted ball to Summerville, who dinked it in for 1-0. The goal was followed up by Malick Diouf, utilising his crossing ability, placing a brilliant cross to Taty, who scored his first Premier League goal for West Ham. Argentinian and a great escape? Fans have seen this before!

Another six-pointer has come around for the Hammers! A weekend that is overly crucial given the nature of the game for the relegation fight, as well as fixtures elsewhere, which makes it a crucial outing.

There’s a possibility that by the end of the week, West Ham could be three or four points from safety if the victory is secured, Leeds take on Friday night, meaning that someone will be losing out on accumulating all three points.
