West Ham United crushed Wolves 4-0, with braces from Konstantinos Mavropanos and Taty Castellanos, taking a big step towards avoiding relegation. They were just a point away from safety going into the match.


The win moves West Ham out of the relegation zone, pushing Tottenham into it. 


Wolves started strong in East London, with Andre's early shot flying over the bar. West Ham grew into the game, but missed a great chance to take the lead when Crysencio Summerville wasted a tap-in opportunity after a brilliant pass from Mateus Fernandes.


Both sides continued to threaten as the first half progressed, with Jarrod Bowen seeing a tame effort comfortably saved by José Sá, while at the other end, Adam Armstrong was unable to beat Mads Hermansen with a close-range header.


Having won the last five home H2Hs in the PL, West Ham looked to up the ante before HT, and their pressure was duly rewarded in the 42nd minute when Bowen’s inswinging delivery was brilliantly headed into the far corner by Mavropanos.


The second half started with a bang, as both teams hit the woodwork within a minute – Angel Gomes' free-kick hit the post for Wolves, and Jarrod Bowen's shot hit the upright for West Ham.


Not to be denied, West Ham doubled their lead in the 66th minute, as Castellanos combined to devastating effect with strike partner Pablo, resulting in a clinical finish on the stretch from the Argentine.


Nuno Espirito Santo’s men sensed blood, and they added a third just two minutes later, with Bowen setting up Castellanos for a deflected strike that squirmed into the bottom corner.




Armed with all the momentum, West Ham remained on the front foot, netting a fourth late on through Mavropanos, who acrobatically volleyed home from Bowen’s corner to complete the scoring and lift the Hammers out of the drop zone.


As for Rob Edwards’ side, their relegation to the Championship could be confirmed as early as next weekend after a 16th winless match on the road this season (D5, L11).
