West Ham - Wolves: Hammers turn to Mateus Fernandes, but some sink | OneFootball

West Ham hosted and thrashed Wolves 4-0 this Friday in the 32nd round of the Premier League. The team led by Nuno Espírito Santo returned to winning ways after three matches without a victory, and can now breathe a little easier in the standings.

With Mateus Fernandes - who made a major revelation in the national team - in the starting eleven, the visitors put up a good fight in the first half, showing they were capable of keeping possession. However, West Ham were always the more dangerous side. That approach paid off before half-time, when Bowen found centre-back Mavropanos in the heart of the box, with the Greek defender rising unmarked and heading into the back of the net (42').

The score was 1-0 at the break, but West Ham wanted more. In the 66th minute, Pablo set up Castellanos for 2-0 and seconds later, the ball went back to midfield, Bowen won back possession and fed the Argentine striker for his brace (67').

With the game settled, the home side managed the tempo without giving up on attacking whenever possible. That was why the fourth goal eventually came. In the 83rd minute, from a Bowen corner, a flick at the near post sent the ball to Mavropanos' right foot, and he grabbed his brace to seal the final result.

, while Spurs still have to play in this round, against Sunderland. Wolves, meanwhile, are heading rapidly toward relegation.
