High standard of play. Pape scored two goals in the opening 5 minutes. Later Pike made it 3-0 to Fulham but Surtees got one back for the Hammers just before the break.

After half-time Dowsey further reduced the Fulham advantage, Horler then missed a golden opportunity to level, when he failed with a penalty. With 5 minutes to go Hammers drew level through Bishop (his last game in a West Ham shirt) but it wasn't all over for Wolfe put past his own 'keeper' to give the visitors the points.
