Graham Potter Secures First Premier League Win as West Ham Manager

West Ham overcame injuries and capitalized on Fulham's defensive errors to win 3-2 in a chaotic London derby.

West Ham defeated Fulham 3-2 in Graham Potter's first Premier League match as manager, moving up to 12th in the standings.
Key goals from Carlos Soler, Tomas Soucek, and Lucas Paquetá were aided by critical mistakes from Fulham's Andreas Pereira and Bernd Leno.
Injuries to key forwards forced Potter to field a strikerless lineup, with midfielder Paquetá leading the attack in an unconventional role.
Fulham dominated possession and created 21 goal attempts, with Alex Iwobi scoring twice, but failed to capitalize on their chances in the closing stages.
Potter emphasized adaptability and teamwork in his side's performance, while West Ham continues to search for a new striker to bolster their attack.
