00:00Well the full-time whistle has just gone here at the London Stadium where Fulham, thanks to two goals from Andres Pereira, have beaten West Ham by two goals to nil.
00:08It's only the second time they've won away since they beat Everton on the opening day of the season, the other one coming at Old Trafford.
00:14So a massive result for Marco Silva's side just at the moment when it looked like they might be allowing a very good season to fizzle out.
00:21But for West Ham, a disastrous afternoon really, having been beaten by Bayer Leverkusen in Germany on Thursday night.
00:28They look like they've got it all to do to reach the semi-finals of the Europa League and now their hopes of qualifying for Europe next season have taken a big knock.
00:36They would have gone 6th had they won here today, climbing above Newcastle and Manchester United.
00:42Instead they say 8th and they're conceding games in hand to all their rivals for those European places.
00:48We obviously don't know quite yet what it's going to take to qualify for Europe but plenty of teams in there with chances.
00:54West Ham have a tricky run-in with the likes of Liverpool and Manchester City still to play.
00:59To cap it all off at the end, they brought on George Earthy, 19-year-old, highly rated academy player for his Premier League debut.
01:06Showed some really nice touches but literally within a couple of minutes of coming on he was involved in a horrible incident.
01:12Collided with his own team-mate Edson Alvarez and then it looked like he was knocked out cold when his head hit the ground.
01:18He had treatment for 8-10 minutes on the pitch, eventually he was stretched off.
01:23We obviously don't know any more than that at the moment so fingers crossed for him.
01:26We'll go and hear what David Moyes has got to say, what he can tell us about that.
01:30We'll have any updates as well as all the other reaction and analysis to this game over on Standard Sport through the evening.
