9pm: A difficult evening for the U21s who fell to just their third league defeat of the season.
Fulham scored twice in the opening 12 minutes and the U21s struggled to respond after that.
Chances came and went in the second half but Fulham prevailed, with a late third, in the London derby.

90+2 mins: Frustrating that Fulham goal because West Ham were impressing.
But the visitors’ attack have been really impressive this evening.
90 mins: Five minutes added-on…
87 mins: Fulham have a third.
A corner is headed home by Samuel Ammisah.
That should be it.

84 mins: Hammers continue to push here but they can’t find a goal yet.
Unlike this U21s team. They have only failed to score in two PL2 games this season.
78 mins: Earthy has dropped into the midfield two with Orford. Moore on the right, Swyer on the left. Mubama through the middle.
The U21s are giving this a go with ten minutes to play.
74 mins: Knightbridge with an unreal stop. Even better than the last one!
The ball looks to be in the top corner but he responds, off balance, to flick the ball over the bar.
Huge moment.
71 mins: It’s really poor from the Hammers, who are caught out from one long ball forward, leaving Fulham through on goal after a West Ham corner.
Knightbridge, though, makes another good save. He’s keeping his side in this.
70 mins: Regan Clayton sees an effort blocked, after Levi Laing makes a decent block.
A bit of a cliche, but the next goal is a big one.
69 mins: Ryan Battrum really impressing now. The U18s skipper is starting to get on the ball a bit more, and is leading the Hammers forward.
65 mins: Fulham sat really deep at the moment as it is all West Ham.
Some lovely football played, but a goal is really needed here to make the pressure count.
