West Ham United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from London Stadium
A first-half brace from Mohammed Kudus helped West Ham make it seven wins from nine matches with a 3-0 victory over Wolves.
Summer recruit Kudus scored against Freiburg on Thursday to help David Moyes’ team top their Europa League group and this latest result was further evidence the recent thrashing at Fulham was an anomaly.
Kudus’ third and fourth goals in his last five matches set West Ham on their way and, while Wolves attacker Pablo Sarabia had a 58th-minute effort ruled out for a marginal offside by VAR Jarred Gillett, the hosts deserved their victory, with Jarrod Bowen rounding off the scoring 16 minutes from time.

CHANCE! Opportunity for Wolves. Semedo lofts a cross into the box from the right and Bellegarde is free, but his touch lets him down, allowing Coufal to clear it away.

Kudus has been a phenomenal signing for West Ham since joining from Ajax in the summer. Only Jarrod Bowen (10) has more goals in all competitions for the Hammers this season than him (eight), with seven of the Ghanaian's eight strikes for the Hammers coming at the London Stadium. His goal is the difference so far.

SAVE! Fabianski makes a smart stop. Soucek gifts possession to Wolves, with Gomes then making a good slide tackle on Alvarez. Cunha collects it and takes a shot from the edge of the box that bounces just ahead of Fabianski, but he gets down to his right to push it wide.
