West Ham United fell to a heavy home defeat on Friday evening, losing 0-4 to Wolverhampton Wanderers in a performance that offered the hosts little to take comfort from.
Wolves controlled large portions of the match from the first whistle. Jean-Ricner Bellegarde set the tone with an early goal in the ninth minute, and Yerson Mosquera doubled the advantage before the half hour. Mateus Fernandes added a third on 31 minutes, leaving West Ham with an enormous deficit to overturn. Konstantinos Mavropanos then compounded the misery for the home side with a goal just before the break, though the timeline suggests that effort was registered at 42 minutes and may have been for the visitors.
The second half brought little relief for West Ham. Taty Castellanos was the standout figure for Wolves, scoring in the 52nd and 66th minutes to put the result beyond any doubt, with a third contribution from the Argentine recorded at 68 minutes. Rodrigo Gomes departed for Mateus Mané on the hour, and Hee-chan Hwang replaced Tolu Arokodare shortly after, as Wolves managed their advantage sensibly.
West Ham introduced Freddie Potts and Callum Wilson from the bench but neither could alter the scoreline. Late substitutions from both sides signalled that the contest was long settled.
Wolves were the superior side in every phase and deserved their comprehensive victory.
