West Ham United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from London Stadium
A first-half brace from Mohammed Kudus helped West Ham make it seven wins from nine matches with a 3-0 victory over Wolves.
Summer recruit Kudus scored against Freiburg on Thursday to help David Moyes’ team top their Europa League group and this latest result was further evidence the recent thrashing at Fulham was an anomaly.
Kudus’ third and fourth goals in his last five matches set West Ham on their way and, while Wolves attacker Pablo Sarabia had a 58th-minute effort ruled out for a marginal offside by VAR Jarred Gillett, the hosts deserved their victory, with Jarrod Bowen rounding off the scoring 16 minutes from time.

West Ham United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
Only Brighton, Liverpool and Tottenham (all 16) have scored in more different Premier League games this season than Wolves (15). Indeed, the last time they failed to score in the competition was their opening game against Manchester United in August. They have gone close through Cunha on a few occasions and Sarabia has had a goal disallowed through VAR, but they have been well beaten by a superb West Ham side.

Fornals sends a wonderful pass through the middle of the pitch to Paqueta, who rushes towards the edge of the box looking to add a goal to his four assists. However, Doherty gets back and makes a crunching slide tackle to win possession.

Bowen darts through the middle of the pitch and has his eyes on an 11th Premier League goal of the season. However, substitute Ait-Nouri does well to make him run wide before winning it off the Hammers man.

Kilman looks to send a long ball through the middle of the pitch, but Fabianski rushes off his line to claim it. He hs taken Areola's place in the team and is on course for back-to-back clean sheets in all competitions.

Assist Lucas Tolentino Coelho de Lima

Moyes has stuck with Fabianski in goal. The Poland international conceded five in West Ham’s last Premier League match but kept a clean sheet against Freiburg in the Europa League. Since a 2-0 win over Sheffield United in September, the Hammers are without a shutout in their last nine league games, conceding 20 goals during that time; they last went 10 games in the competition without a clean sheet in May 2021.
