Fulham's 1-0 victory over West Ham was a testament to their tactical superiority and discipline. Despite West Ham enjoying 56% possession, Fulham managed to restrict them to just 2 shots on target, thanks to a well-organized defensive structure.

The key to Fulham's success was their ability to control the tempo of the game. They completed 509 passes with an 86% accuracy rate, compared to West Ham's 404 passes at 82% accuracy. This allowed Fulham to dictate the flow of the game and limit West Ham's opportunities.

The winning goal came in the 85th minute, when Fulham substitute Raul Jimenez capitalized on a well-crafted counter-attack, assisted by Harry Wilson. This goal was a culmination of Fulham's tactical approach, as they were able to patiently wait for the right moment to strike.

The defeat was a tactical failure for West Ham, who struggled to break down Fulham's organized defense. Their 7 offsides and 5 blocked shots suggest a lack of cohesion and decisiveness in the final third. The introduction of Lucas Paqueta failed to provide the necessary spark, as West Ham continued to struggle to create clear-cut chances.
