OVER!!! Slowly but surely, Wolves build a good-looking attack and Costa feeds Traore. He looks to place the ball in the top corner from just inside the area, but can only send the shot a few inches over the bar!

WIDE!!! Antonio's cross from the right beats everyone until it reaches Fornals, who snatches at a left-footed half-volley and skews the ball beyond the far post!

WIDE!!! Traore crosses into the centre, where Costa rises above the West Ham defence. It's a free header, but he can't direct the effort on target and it goes wide!

SAVED!!! Cresswell heads forwards to Fornals, who shrugs off his marker before shooting from the edge of the box, and drawing a comfortable save for Sa!

After snuffing out a West Ham attack, Wolves break and Podence looks to cross from the left. It's a crowded box though, and he flicks the ball on for Ait Nouri to latch onto, but Soucek wins that battle and possession of the ball.

Bowen had been yet to score in the Premier League so far this season, with only Solly March (17) having more shots without netting than the West Ham winger's 15 before this match. Against no other side in the competition, however, has Bowen scored more times than he has against Wolves, with the Hammers' second goal being his fourth in total against the Wolverhampton side.
