Crysencio Summerville is proving he can be West Ham’s savior

Also travel West Ham Supporters descended into chaos at Craven Cottage, with Crysencio Summerville standing still, arms outstretched and smiling.

The Dutchman had every reason to smile as he celebrated his fifth Premier League goal of the season to help the Hammers to a vital 1-0 win over Fulham.

His 65th-minute goal was enough to continue his side’s bid to remain in the Premier League in 2026 – on a night in which they secured a two-point advantage over 17th-placed Nottingham Forest.

The striker – who struggled for form and confidence after joining from Leeds United in August 2024 – has now scored more goals in his last 10 appearances for the club (seven), than he did in his first 38 (one).

Speaking to TNT Sports after the match, Somerville said: “We have to fight until the end, and that’s what we did. I’m very happy to get the three points.

“I’m in a good place. I love playing, I’m happy to be back and I try to show that every week.

“We have to keep going now. We took positives from the Liverpool game, we had a lot of positives, the fans behind us are very happy and we are moving in the right direction – the only way is up.”

But it’s not just Summerville who are finding their feet as the end of the season approaches, it’s West Ham as well.

The Hammers have now collected 14 points out of 28 points this season in their last eight matches in the English Premier League.

Such an impressive performance for Nuno Espirito Santo’s side means that if they defeat Manchester City when they return to the Premier League on March 14, they will climb out of the relegation zone for the first time since December.
