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.

West Ham United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
Wolves were tipped to be battling against relegation at the start of the season but have defied early exceptions and are 10 points above the drop zone. Gary O’Neil’s side had lost three of their first four games since the start of November, with their only win in that run coming in a comeback victory over Tottenham. However, they have since collected four points from their last two games, beating Burnley 1-0 at Molineux before drawing 1-1 with Nottingham Forest. They will be looking to end their three-match losing streak away from home with a rare victory at London Stadium, having also been beaten in their last three trips to the Hammers.
West Ham United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
West Ham’s good run of form in the Premier League ended with a 5-0 thumping at the hands of Fulham in their last top-flight outing. The Hammers had won three of their previous four matches before heading to Craven Cottage, including impressive wins over Nottingham Forest, Burnley and Tottenham, but were easily beaten by Marco Silva’s side. However, there were some reports of a sickness bug going through the squad, so David Moyes will be hoping the result was a one-off. West Ham are ninth in the table and could move as high as seventh if they beat Wolves and both Brighton and Manchester United lose today. They will also be confident going into the game after beating Freiburg in the Europa League during the week, confirming their place in the last 16.
