After losing 1-0 to Manchester City earlier in the week, the hosts responded in fashion with a comfortable and largely controlled display in front of their fans.
It took just seven minutes for Manuel Pellegrini’s side to take the lead, with Declan Rice finding the back of the net for his second goal of the season.
Mark Noble doubled the lead from the penalty spot three minutes before the break.
After the restart West Ham continued to dominate proceedings as the visitors struggled to make their presence felt, aside from a late free-kick which struck the woodwork. The result sees the Londoners move up to ninth in the table on 39 points.

Manchester United 0-0 Southampton, 7 minutes
Scott McTominay collides awkwardly with Victor Lindelof and stays down.
Manchester United can ill-afford another midfield injury, and forutunately for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer it seems McTominay should be alright to continue.

Chance Southampton!
Jannik Vestergaard finds space, breaking free of Paul Pogba's shackles, but directs his header over the crossbar from close range.
A good opportunity for the visitors - may they rue that miss?

Chris Smalling is very, very lucky.
The Manchester United centre-half clearly fells Ryan Bertrand as his England teammate moves past him but a penalty is somehow not awarded.

Two for Wolves!
Cardiff had begun the game well, but Neil Warnock's defensive woes continue.
Diogo Jota and Raul Jimenez combine again, the former returning the ball to the latter who makes no mistake from six yards.
