West Ham United secured a 4-2 win over Wolverhampton in the Championship. The home side were clinical in front of goal, scoring four times from six shots on target, while Wolves had 15 attempts in all but only three on target. It was a result built on finishing power rather than control.
Divine Mukasa opened the scoring at 33, turning in Arne Engels' pass, and Jarrod Bowen made it 2-0 at 42. Marshall Munetsi replied for Wolves at 44, but Mukasa struck again at 53 after Bowen's assist to extend the lead. Konstantinos Mavropanos put West Ham 4-1 up at 64, only to be credited with Wolves' second at 69 for the final 4-2.
Mukasa's double and Bowen's goal-and-assist were the standout contributions, but the underlying stats show West Ham were outplayed in possession, with 44% to Wolves' 56%. They still created three big chances to Wolves' none and posted an expected-goals figure of 1.74 against 0.94, underlining how much damage they did with the ball.
