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.

Zouma strides out of the defence and wins a corner off Lemina on the right. Bowen and Ward-Prowse are over it, with the latter curling a cross on top of Bentley. The goalkeeper doesn't take any chances and pushes it over.

CHANCE! Ward-Prowse slides the ball down the left to Bowen, who immediately cuts it into the middle of the box. Emerson surges inside, but Lemina gets across to put it behind. Ward-Prowse's corner causes panic in the box, with Wolves eventually clearing it away.

West Ham have pushed men into Wolves' half and are retaining possession well. Kudus, Ward-Prowse and Soucek all combine before the Hammers go back to the halfway line.

Emerson shows some nice touches down the left. He flicks the ball through the legs of Hwang before playing a one-two with Paqueta, but is then forced back.

Bowen will be the player to watch for West Ham. He has scored nine goals in 15 Premier League appearances for West Ham this season; should he score against Wolves, he’d be the second-quickest Hammers player to 10 Premier League goals in a season, after John Hartson in 1997-98 (15th appearance), though just two of Bowen’s nine in 2023-24 have come at home. He missed a couple of clear chances against Fulham so will be desperate to score today.

West Ham make one change to the side that beat Freiburg in the Europa League. Zouma comes in at centre-back and captains the side, with Mavropanos moving onto the bench. Alvarez picked up an injury in the match but is fine to start. Fabianski also keeps his place despite Areola’s return from injury.
