Decisive figure tilts it for West Ham United against Wolverhampton Wanderers | OneFootball

Divine Mukasa bent in a superb strike in the 33rd minute to set West Ham United on their way to a 4-2 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers. The midfielder later completed a brace to settle a breathless night.

Mukasa's opener came from range, his right footer arcing into the top right after he stepped onto a loose ball (33.). It punctured a spell of Wolves pressure and handed the Hammers control.

After the restart he timed another late burst, arriving on the right side of the box to rifle high into the far corner from Jarrod Bowen's cut back (53.). That cushion let the Hammers play on their terms.

Mukasa finished with three attempts, two on target, plus 31 successful passes from 32 and nine successful final third passes, underlining how he connected midfield to attack. He also made two tackles and an interception to keep Wolves at arm's length.

Operating between the lines, the 19-year-old repeatedly found room on the right edge and outside the box, keeping Wolves' back line off balance. His clean striking and crisp distribution ensured the Irons controlled the key phases.

The Hammers climb from 16th to 11th in the Championship. Wolves move up from fourth to third. The Hammers host Derby next; Wolves visit Birmingham.
