Avram Grant hopes West Ham's first away win since the opening day of last season will be a turning point for his side. The Hammers came from a goal down to beat Fulham 3-1 at Craven Cottage and under-fire boss Grant hopes the victory will lead to an upturn in fortunes. Carlton Cole scored either side of a goal from strike partner Frederic Piquionne to lift the Irons off the foot of the table. "I hope, I hope. We deserved more than this before," said Grant, who hailed Cole's alertness for his two goals. "I always say to the players, when you work hard - we worked hard also in the first half - sometimes things like this happen and you need to be awake. "He was very awake because it was dead ball and he took the chance."
