It is the 15th anniversary this weekend of Moore passing away and supporters stood for a minute's applause as a tribute ahead of the Barclays Premier League clash, which was settled by Solano's 87th-minute winner that appeared to come off his arm after challenging goalkeeper Antti Niemi.

Relegation-threatened Fulham also had Leon Andreasen for a second bookable offence after the defender took his protests against the goal too far.

Hammers keeper Robert Green did have to deal with an early shot across his goal from former Hammers defender Paul Konchesky on the edge of the area - but after that the visitors had the better of a poor opening 45 minutes.

It was Carlton Cole, the lone striker for West Ham, who looked most threatening early on.

He met Mark Noble's cross with a first-time volley in the opening exchanges, but Niemi saved the effort and also skimmed the crossbar with a volley from the edge of the area after latching onto a flick by Julien Faubert.

The Hammers should have taken the lead when Luis Boa Morte was given a free header yards from goal in the 27th minute. He was granted enough time to control the ball but looped his effort on to the crossbar instead.

There was a slight improvement from the hosts at the start of the second half and they had a couple of penalty shouts turned down for handball before the winner came.

Solano raced through and appeared to kick the ball out of Niemi's hands, with the ball ricocheting off the winger's arm and going in.

Andreasen was dismissed following his complaints.
