LONDON, England — West Ham United delivered a dominant performance to beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 4–0 in a crucial Premier League relegation clash at the London Stadium on Friday night.
The result saw West Ham climb out of the relegation zone, while Wolves remained rooted at the bottom of the table after a heavy defeat that exposed defensive frailties throughout the second half.
First-half breakthrough sets the tone
After a tense opening period where Wolves created early chances, West Ham broke the deadlock just before half-time when Konstantinos Mavropanos headed home from a Jarrod Bowen cross.
Wolves had looked competitive in spells, but their resistance collapsed after the break as West Ham took full control of the match.
Second-half collapse from Wolves
West Ham doubled their lead in quick succession through Taty Castellanos, who struck twice in two minutes after the hour mark to put the game beyond reach.
Mavropanos then added his second of the night with a late finish to complete a commanding 4–0 scoreline.
Big boost for survival hopes
