Wolves Demolish Woeful West Ham to Claim Opening Premier League Victory of the Season
This latest defeat marks another embarrassing chapter in a torrid season for West Ham, raising serious doubts about the future of their manager. The London club had the misfortune of becoming the initial team to succumb to Wolves in this campaign, allowing the Midlands outfit to increase their league points and boost their hopes of avoiding the tag in the record books as the worst team in Premier League history.
Commanding Opening Performance Seals Long-Awaited Win
Within four minutes of the new year, Wolves were able to demonstrate of discovering much-needed confidence. The energetic Hwang Hee-chan provided a taste of his revitalised form with a long run before turning provider thanks to neat link-up play with Mateus Mané. His cut-back found an unmarked Jhon Arias, who tapped in from point-blank range to give Wolves a lead at Molineux for the first time since early October. Vibrancy was evident both on the field and in the terraces, a rarity for most of the season.
Facing a team terribly short on confidence and missing key player Lucas Paquetá through injury, this was the home side's clearest opportunity for a victory this season. At first unnerved by taking the lead, Wolves chose to defend it fiercely, falling back with all men behind the ball from an early stage.
Compliant Guests Compound West Ham's Problems
West Ham were accommodating visitors, adding to their own downfall. First, former Wolves captain Max Kilman failed to make a simple clearance from a cross, allowing Mané to pounce, only to be fouled by Soungoutou Magassa inside the penalty area. The teenage player, once of Rochdale, was proving the key figure on the field. Hwang stepped up to score the resulting penalty, doubling the advantage. Ironic chants of "We will win the league" rang around Molineux.
Short on belief and inspiration, West Ham were drifting out of the contest even with controlling possession, registering just a solitary attempt in the first half.
The visitors' woes deepened just prior to halftime. The confident Mané, a youth among trepidatious senior players, spun exquisitely, cut in from the left, and unleashed a driven shot into the far corner from outside the box for his first professional goal. At last, the home fans were enjoying themselves.
Fruitless Second Period Response
With little to lose, coach Nuno made a double substitution at half-time and switched to a more attacking 3-4-3 shape. Yet, star forward Jarrod Bowen remained quiet, and even introduction of Crysencio Summerville failed to provide the necessary threat.
A lingering feeling of anxiety continued to affected Wolves' judgment, uncertain whether to clear the ball long or build from the back. But, they need not have worried against such meek resistance. West Ham's own deficiencies became increasingly apparent as they produced very little of note in the attacking areas.
Critical Matches Lie Ahead
In the end, Wolves were the only side capable of increasing the tally, and West Ham will be relieved the damage was not more severe. Attention now shifts to a pivotal midweek fixture at home to relegation-threatened Nottingham Forest, a match essential in the fight for top-flight survival. On this evidence, the Hammers have every reason to be afraid.
