Lukasz Fabianski was left waiting just to make the save from Ademola Lookman’s poor penalty
Fulham’s Ademola Lookman missed a Panenka-style penalty with the last kick of the game as West Ham clinched a dramatic victory with an injury-time winner of their own.
The game had looked on course to end goalless before Tomas Soucek drove home from substitute Said Benrahma’s pass inside the box in the first minute of injury time.
But Fulham were awarded a 95th-minute penalty when Benrahma caught Tom Cairney and, after a check by the video assistant referee, the spot-kick was awarded.
Aleksandar Mitrovic had missed his previous penalty so Lookman stepped up but his chipped effort lacked any sort of power, leaving Lukasz Fabianski waiting to make an ultimately comfortable catch.
