West Ham United celebrated a crucial 4-2 victory against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday, marking their first win since relegation to the Championship. Divine Mukasa starred for the hosts, scoring twice, while Jarrod Bowen and Konstantinos Mavropanos also contributed to the scoreboard.

The match took place at the London Stadium, where Wolves, aiming for their first win under new manager Cesar Peixoto, faced disappointment after a promising start. Early opportunities for Wolves included a close call when Raul Jimenez shanked a shot wide and later struck the crossbar.

West Ham opened the scoring in the 33rd minute with Mukasa’s stunning shot from over 20 yards, followed by Bowen converting a penalty in the 40th minute after a foul on Joel Piroe.

Wolves responded just before halftime with a goal from Marshall Munetsi, but West Ham quickly regained control. Mukasa netted his second in the 53rd minute, and Mavropanos extended the lead to 4-1 in the 64th minute. Despite an own goal from Mavropanos in the 69th minute, West Ham held firm.

Post-match, West Ham’s Nuno Espirito Santo expressed satisfaction with the win, highlighting Mukasa’s performance. Meanwhile, Wolves’ Peixoto acknowledged the team's effort but lamented the scoreline, calling it unfair given their chances.

This victory eases pressure on Nuno and sets a positive tone for West Ham moving forward in the Championship.
