West Ham United came from behind to pick up an important Premier League win on Friday night.
Declan Rice has insisted on Twitter that there is no better feeling than picking up a win as West Ham came from behind to beat Fulham 3-1 on Friday night, while the midfielder also congratulated teammate Issa Diop on his goal in the victory.
Manuel Pellegrini’s side went into the game looking to end a run of five games without a win. But it was the visitors who struck the first blow as Ryan Babel smashed the ball home from close range inside three minutes.
However, the goal sparked the Hammers into life. Javier Hernandez equalised in controversial circumstances shortly before the half-hour mark, and the Irons then went into the break 2-1 ahead.
Diop bagged his first goal in the top flight after leaping brilliantly to head home a corner five minutes before the interval.
Fulham threatened to push for an equaliser during the second-half, but lacked composure once they got close to the final third. Indeed, West Ham looked more likely to bag a third goal, and it did come in the final moments of the contest.
Michail Antonio produced a trademark leap to find the bottom corner after Marko Arnautovic floated a cross towards the penalty spot, leaving West Ham to move themselves up to ninth in the table.
