Goals from Carlos Soler, Tomas Soucek, and midfielder Lucas Paqueta earned the hosts a stunning victory in opposite to the struggles they endured under former boss Julen Lopetegui. The Spaniard's sacking has breathed new life into the Hammers and history was recorded against London rivals Fulham as they became the first team to record 175 different Premier League goal-scorers. Soler's opening strike against Marco Silva's side earned the Hammers the significant landmark figure as he became the 37th player to move onto a single goal for the club in the English top-flight. Meanwhile, the injured Michail Antonio - who is still recovering from a serious car collision that left him in intensive care - leads the list as the most prolific Hammers goalscorer. Antonio has bagged 68 Premier League goals since moving to the club in 2015 from Nottingham Forest, with his team-mate and current club captain Jarrod Bowen lagging just 20 goals behind.
