Cole opened the scoring tapping the ball into an empty net following Etherington’s low, driven cross.

Etherington made it 2-0 after latching onto Mark Noble’s through ball.

Fulham’s Andy Johnson was sent off in first-half injury-time for a second bookable offence, while Danny Murphy pulled one back from the penalty spot.

It was a good end to what has been a bad week for Cole and West Ham.
