Fulham were left to rue a lack of VAR, as Javier Hernandez's handball goal set West Ham on their way to a 3-1 victory at the London Stadium.
In a chaotic opening few minutes, the Cottagers' Ryan Babel went from zero to hero in a matter of moments. After spurning a gilt-edged chance just 40 seconds into the match when through one-on-one with Hammers goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski, the Dutchman made amends when he swept home from a Ryan Sessegnon cross just two minutes later.
With the Hammers struggling to create significant chances against an impressive Fulham, the game's biggest – potentially season-defining – controversy struck.
