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.

Back underway in the second half at Molineux.
Wolves make a change as it begins, Diogo Jota replaced by Matt Doherty.
Manchester United 0-1 Southampton, 49 minutes
Another injury for Manchester United...
Alexis Sanchez has hardly effervesced today, but it is a mark of how thinly Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's quad is stretched that Diogo Dalot replaces the Chilean.
Ashley Young presumably on to the wing.
GOAL! Manchester United 1-1 Southampton (Andreas Pereira, 53 minutes)
Another superb goal!
Immediate impact from Diogo Dalot with an assist, but this one's all about the finish.
Andreas Pereira finds space 25 yards from goal and arcs the ball beautifully into the top corner, Angus Gunn utterly helpless as Manchester United level.
GOAL! Bournemouth 0-1 Manchester City (Riyad Mahrez, 55 minutes)
That's better from Manchester City, and they lead!
A scrappy finish, Riyad Mahrez kicking his effort into the floor rather after a goalmouth scramble but just about finding the bottom corner.
Big goal for City - Bournemouth were really frustrating them.
GOAL! Manchester United 2-1 Southampton (Romelu Lukaku, 59 minutes)
Manchester United have turned things around.
Little more than five minutes after equalising, Romelu Lukaku puts them ahead.
