The result lifted Fulham two places up to 17th on four points from seven games, while winless West Brom dropped one place to 18th on three points after yet another lacklustre performance. The outcome also means West Brom have made their worst league start since the 1985/86 season while Fulham stretched their unbeaten run against the Baggies to 10 matches. Decordova-Reid, who scored his maiden goal in England’s top flight, was delighted to have helped the Cottagers to their first league win after a dreadful start to the season. “I’m happy to score my first Premier League goal,” the 27-year old British-born Jamaica forward told Sky Sports. Fulham could have added a third in the 80th minute as the visitors twice cleared the ball off the line in quick succession while West Brom failed to trouble keeper Alphonse Areola at the other end.
