Jimenez's late strike ends Hammers' misery

Jimenez Delivers Fulham's Escape Act at London Stadium

Skip It Futmetrix Score: 27/100. Fulham's late breakthrough against West Ham represents a crucial three points in their bid for European qualification, while the hosts sink deeper into the Premier League's relegation mire.

A Contest of Balance and Missed Chances

For 84 minutes, West Ham and Fulham traded blows in a match defined by possession control without clinical finishing. The visitors dominated the ball—56% to 44%—yet struggled to break down a Hammers side that, despite their league position, showed defensive resolve. Mateus Fernandes orchestrated West Ham's midfield with intelligence, earning a 7.7 rating and keeping his side's shape intact through 90 minutes of Intensity.

Fulham's Defensive Wall and the Breakthrough

Antonee Robinson and Sander Berge anchored Fulham's resistance, with Robinson's 7.6 rating reflecting his tireless work rate and three key passes that kept the visitors' attacking threats alive. The breakthrough came when it mattered most: R. Jimenez finished clinically in the 85th minute after H. Wilson's assist, a moment that vindicated Fulham's superior shot count (15 to 11) and expected goals advantage (1.27 to 0.89).

West Ham's Spiral Continues

The loss leaves West Ham in 18th place with just 13 points from 18 games—a goal difference of minus-17 that screams structural collapse. Their inability to convert six offsides positions into chances and only two shots on target underscores a team lacking the Stakes-defining composure needed to climb out of trouble. Fulham, meanwhile, moves to 9th with 26 points, their recent form (two wins in five) suggesting they've found equilibrium after a rocky spell.

Key Questions

Did West Ham deserve anything from this match?

No. Fulham's 1.27 xG and 15 shots reflected superior control. West Ham's 0.89 xG and six offsides suggest wasteful attacking play.

What does this mean for Fulham's season?

Three points move them closer to European spots. Their 8-2-8 record shows inconsistency, but late-game composure is crucial.

How dire is West Ham's situation?

Critical. Only three wins in 18 games and minus-17 goal difference. They're 5 points from safety with half the season gone.

How is the Futmetrix Score calculated?

The Futmetrix Score (0-100) combines multiple factors: match intensity, competitive balance, stakes importance, and entertainment value to help you decide if this match is worth watching.
