Wolverhampton Wanderers took a massive leap toward Premier League survival with a solid 1-0 win over West Ham United at Molineux. The hosts continued their dominance over the Hammers at home, making it five wins from their last seven league meetings in front of their fans.
With this result, Wolves now sit 12 points clear of the relegation zone, virtually ensuring another season in the top flight. This was a thrilling display of grit, timing, and tactical discipline for Kenyan fans who follow the English Premier League closely.
Fast Start, Fierce Fight
Even though both teams started the day seemingly stuck in mid-table, there was no shortage of hunger. West Ham looked dangerous early on. Jarrod Bowen cut through Wolves’ defence and squared it for Evan Ferguson, but the forward fluffed a great chance to put the Hammers ahead.
That miss sparked Wolves into action. Alphonse Areola well saved Toti’s powerful header from a Rayan Aït-Nouri free-kick, but the breakthrough was coming.
It arrived through the red-hot Jørgen Strand Larsen, who pounced on a loose ball at the edge of the area and rifled home via a slight deflection off former Wolves defender Maximilian Kilman. Just minutes later, Marshall Munetsi nearly made it two, striking the crossbar after a slick lay-off from Strand Larsen.
West Ham Respond, But Wolves Stay Strong
Graham Potter made several changes at halftime to inspire a comeback. The Hammers did improve, dominating possession at times, but still lacked bite in the final third.
Wolves had more chances, with Bellegarde and Strand Larsen threatening to extend the lead. West Ham’s best period came late, as Lucas Paquetá set up Niclas Füllkrug for a header that crashed off the bar. Edson Álvarez then squandered the rebound.
But the most apparent chance came in the 89th minute, when Füllkrug slipped through Tomáš Souček, who fired into the side netting with only José Sá to beat. It summed up a frustrating afternoon for the Hammers.
Wolves Hold On – Relegation Fears All But Over
Wolves’ disciplined performance earned them three crucial points and gave their fans reason to breathe easy. With a 12-point cushion and the bottom three sides all winless since early February, the Molineux outfit can now focus on finishing strong.
Though still safe, West Ham will be looking to sharpen up in the season’s final stretch as Potter works to instill his long-term vision.
