LONDON — Gianluca Scamacca scored a brilliant but contentious goal to help West Ham make it three victories in a week by beating Fulham 3-1 in the Premier League. The Italy striker showed his growing composure in front of goal with an audacious chip over Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno to make it 2-1. The goal survived an initial VAR check for offside and then a second, lengthy review of the ball appearing to brush the striker's fingers after he controlled it. Fulham had taken the lead through Andreas Pereira but when he foolishly gave away a penalty Jarrod Bowen leveled from the spot. Scamacca's strike then put West Ham in control before his replacement Michail Antonio added a third.
