Overview
- The breakthrough arrived in their 20th league game, the longest wait for a first win in a Premier League season since the competition began.
- First-half strikes from Jhon Arias in the fourth minute, a Hwang Hee-chan penalty, and 18-year-old Mateus Mane secured the result and a first clean sheet.
- Wolves rise to six points from 20 matches but remain 12 points from safety, while West Ham stay 18th on 14 points, four behind Nottingham Forest.
- Hwang converted from the spot after Soungoutou Magassa fouled Mane in the box following a failed clearance.
- Hwang was later substituted after a knock as West Ham’s winless league run stretched to nine ahead of their midweek meeting with Nottingham Forest.
