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.

Wolves are having the better of things at the moment. They have had four shots compared to West Ham's two since the restart but have only created an xG of 0.14. Most of their opportunities have come from outside the box or difficult angles.

Another chance for Wolves. Lemina shows some nice footwork to make space for a shot on the edge of the box, but his effort is tame and rolls into Fabianski's gloves.

NO GOAL! West Ham retain their 2-0 lead after a VAR check. Sarabia was just offside when the pass was played across to him by Semedo and the goal won’t count. It took over three minutes for the decision to be made.

GOALLL! WOLVES GET ONE BACK, BUT THERE IS A VAR CHECK! Bellegarde races down the left before sliding a pass inside to Hwang.

However, there is a VAR check for offside.
