Lukasz Fabianski might have just kept West Ham in the Premier League with his magnificent save yesterday.

West Ham beat Fulham 1-0 at Craven Cottage and we have Lukasz Fabianski to thank for that.

David Moyes will be fully aware that his team are only three points clear of the drop zone, and with some tough games still to come, avoiding the drop is far from a done deal.

However, yesterday’s win over Fulham has made our task of staying up a whole lot easier. And we have one man to thank for the three points…

Lukasz Fabianski a hero for West Ham in Premier League win against Fulham

The 37-year-old was absolutely terrible against Newcastle in midweek and made a shocking error when he came charging out of his goal, only to miss-control the ball and gift Alexander Isak the chance to score.

The Pole was rightly criticised for that performance, but what better way to bounce back than with a superb performance away at Fulham?

The former Swansea City man was exceptional at Craven Cottage yesterday, but it was his save in the 83rd minute that might well end up being the action that keeps West Ham in the Premier League:

With Andreas Pereira bearing down on goal, Fabianski looked like he would be well beaten.

However, as the 27-year-old Fulham attacker tried to take the ball around him, the 37-year-old showed unbelievable agility and sprung to his right hand side to get an all important touch on the ball.

Danger was averted and West Ham picked up a vital three points in the race to avoid relegation from the Premier League.

That save from Fabianski will end up being the difference for the Hammers when we all look back at the end of the season in my opinion.
