Overview
- West Ham won 4-2 at the London Stadium on Tuesday night, with Divine Mukasa scoring twice and Jarrod Bowen and Konstantinos Mavropanos also on the scoresheet.
- The result delivered West Ham’s first league win of the season and eased public pressure on manager Nuno Espírito Santo after a stuttering start that left the club with two points from three matches.
- Wolves suffered their first defeat under new head coach César Peixoto despite having started the campaign strongly and sitting second in the table earlier in the week.
- West Ham completed the signing of Norway Under-21 winger Edvin Austbø before the game and continue to work on deadline-day business to boost a squad that has struggled for shots on target and defensive stability.
- The win reshapes early promotion talk by giving West Ham momentum and forcing Wolves to respond, with both clubs still viewed as leading favourites for a quick return to the Premier League.
