West Ham started the match on the attack and pressed forward at every opportunity.

The West Ham defense failed to clear the ball which eluded everyone before bouncing past Robert Green.

The goal seemed to rejuvenate Fulham and the visitors were enjoying an upper hand in the match before West Ham grabbed the equalizer against the run of play. Fredrik Ljungberg was have a good game on the right flank and the Swedish winger raced forward before curling the ball to Ashton who made no mistake to head home past Antti Niemi.

Ashton nearly grabbed a second minutes later when he was played in by Matthew Etherington but his shot was saved brilliantly by Niemi. The Finnish international continued to keep his side in the game, pulling off great saves to deny Ashton and Carlton Cole.

However West Ham managed to take the lead in the 59th minute when Mark Noble's cross was headed home by Ferdinand. Fulham pressed forward in search of an equalizer and even though Danny Murphy had a good chance of pulling his side level, the visitors failed to register their first away win of the season.
