Danny Murphy blown away by ‘wonderful’ Crysencio Summerville footage vs Fulham on Match of the Day
Crysencio Summerville caught the eye once again as West Ham secured victory against Fulham on Wednesday.
The Dutchman is the most in-form player at the London Stadium right now and is doing his utmost to drag his side out of the bottom three.
That continued away at Craven Cottage as he netted the only goal of the evening to seal all three points for Nuno Espirito Santo’s side.
It came after some sloppy play from Bernd Leno and Calvin Bassey, which allowed Jarrod Bowen to step in and win possession.
Summerville did the rest and found the far corner, in a moment that left Danny Murphy totally blown away.

Danny Murphy loves what Crysencio Summerville did vs Fulham
Since the turn of the year, the 24-year-old has been simply excellent and has made a massive difference for the claret and blue outfit.
Seven goals in his last 10 across all competitions has been impactful, and now leaves the Irons just one point off Tottenham outside of the relegation zone.
West Ham just need to focus on themselves and winning games, and with Summerville playing how he is, that is working well.
His strike against Fulham may have been helped by Leno, but that doesn’t take away from his quality on the ball and the strike.
Speaking on Match of the Day, Murphy loved the Dutchman’s footwork before he found the back of the net with aplomb.
He said: “It’s good work from Bowen. He gives it to Summerville, who’s confident. Look at his feet, brilliant. It’s a wonderful finish from a player full of confidence.
“Actually, Summerville has been the one shining light who’s put West Ham in this position.”
How did Summerville perform for West Ham vs Fulham?
The 24-year-old may have scored the crucial goal at Craven Cottage, but he also put in a pretty stellar performance on the night.
He kept up a 96 per cent pass accuracy while creating one big chance for his teammates in a massive game for the Irons.
That was added to by his 100 per cent conversion rate, while nine defensive actions and seven duel wins sum up his work rate to a tee.
Nuno is helping to get the best out of Summerville as he continues to show how much he is willing to work to drag his side away from the bottom three.
He just needs to keep up that form moving forward and there’s no reason why the Hammers can’t drag themselves away from the drop.
