West Ham slumped into the Premier League bottom three following defeat at fellow strugglers Wolves.

Both sides went into the Molineux meeting out of form in the league but it was the hosts who sealed a 1-0 victory courtesy of a smart Daniel Podence strike which lifts them out of the relegation zone.

West Ham headed to the Black Country having won just one of their last nine Premier League games, taking a single point from their previous six.

It left the Hammers looking over their shoulder and into the drop zone, where their hosts sat following an equalling galling run of results.

WIDE! Huge chance for West Ham. Collecting the ball on the edge of the box, Cresswell fires a pass into Rice. Turning inside the area, he clips a cross towards Scamacca who heads his effort wide.

A moment of confusion in the West Ham defence. Rice heads the ball back over the head of Aguerd who is under pressure from Ait-Nouri. The defender must have thought it came off of a Wolves player, allowing it to go out for a corner.

West Ham are having a good spell. Antonio keeps a cross from the left alive, heading the ball back to Rice. Swinging a leg at it, his shot hits the ground before being cleared away by Lemina. It may not have been going on target, but the former Southampton and Fulham man did not want to take the chance.

Cresswell curls a free-kick into the box. Under pressure from Rice, Collins heads it away before going down in a heap. Hooper stops play, with the defender fine to continue seconds later.

Fifth and final substitution for Wolves. It comes at left-back, with Toti replacing Bueno.
