After Danny Ings's last-minute equaliser, Fulham had to settle for a point against West Ham.
Fulham completely dominated the first half, with West Ham struggling to keep possession.
Raul Jiminez scored the opening goal after a lovely move with Andreas Pereira and Emile Smith Rowe linking up to create a chance the Mexican could not miss.
Despite the performance, the Cottagers only have a point to show for it after Ings scored the equaliser in the 95th minute with a nice finish that sneaked into the bottom corner.
What four things did we learn from Fulham’s draw with West Ham?
Andersen will keep his place
Everybody knew when Fulham spent 30 million on Joachim Andersen that he would be a starter, but after Issa Diop’s start to the season, it seemed harsh to drop him.
Andersen's main strength, which sets him apart from Diop, is how calm he is on the ball, which he massively missed against Ipswich.
The Dane gives Fulham the option of a long diagonal ball. He forces the opposition to step back, giving the midfield more time on the ball when they do receive it, which was missing in the season's opening games.
The defender looked solid throughout the game and dealt well with West Ham's attacking threat, being very unlucky to lose his clean sheet in the game's final minutes.
Now that the Denmark international has started, it seems unlikely that he will leave the team anytime soon.
Raul Jiminez is a valuable option
Jiminez has struggled since joining Fulham. He struggled for goals at the beginning of last season before he ended his 33-game Premier League drought, and with Rodrigo Muniz's form at the end of the season, Jiminez struggled to get a look in.
The forward got his first start of the season today as he replaced Muniz in the starting eleven.
The Mexican forward took advantage of finding the back of the net and took the opportunity to make the number nine position his.
With Muniz struggling in the season's opening games and Jiminez with a goal under his belt, it will not be a surprise if he starts against Newcastle next weekend.
Fulham’s new system works at home
Marco Silva took the risk of playing with one defensive midfielder and two attacking midfielders at the start of this season after losing Joao Palhinha to Bayern Munich.
Away from home, this hasn’t really worked, with Pereria struggling with the defensive work expected of him in this new role.
At home, on the other hand, it allows Fulham to dominate the ball and have even more threat when going forward with Pereira and Smith Rowe floating around the pitch, opening up space for the rest of the side.
The two players combined today in the build-up to the Jiminez goal, with Periera playing Smith Rowe through with a lovely ball over the top after a great run, showing that the two can be effective together.
The system could be tweaked in the future, but Silva loves Pereira's work rate and output, so it is unlikely he will be dropped anytime soon.
Clinical edge needed
Fulham need to score more goals, as when they dominate a game like today and end up with nothing to show for, it is a huge disappointment.
This season, the Cottagers have dominated significant periods of games but have been unable to turn that into goals.
This started in the first game of the season against Man United, with Fulham having the better of the game for a period of the second half but were unable to get the final piece right, especially when Pereira failed to play Iwobi through on goal.
Against West Ham today, the first half was so dominant that only being ahead by one goal was a huge disappointment. Silva needed to find answers to the team’s goal-scoring concerns.
The positive sign for Fulham is that chance creation isn’t the problem.
If the Whites start converting the chances they create, the season will be positive.
