West Ham United delivered a ruthless home performance to sweep aside Wolverhampton Wanderers 4–0 on Premier League matchday 32, powered by braces from Konstantinos Mavropanos and Valentín Castellanos.
The breakthrough arrived in the 42nd minute. Jarrod Bowen picked out Konstantinos Mavropanos, who finished to give West Ham a deserved 1–0 lead heading into half-time. Bowen’s assist underlined his influence in the final third, even on a night when he did not get on the scoresheet himself.
Wolves had already endured a frustrating opening period. Jean-Ricner Bellegarde was booked as early as the 9th minute, followed by a yellow card for Yerson Mosquera on 20 minutes. West Ham’s Mateus Fernandes also went into the book on 31 minutes as challenges intensified in midfield.
The hosts pulled away after the interval. In the 66th minute, Valentín Castellanos doubled the advantage, finishing after good work from Pablo Felipe. Just two minutes later, Castellanos struck again, this time assisted by Bowen, to make it 3–0 and effectively end the contest. The striker had been cautioned earlier in the second half, but his impact in front of goal proved decisive.
West Ham continued to press and were rewarded with a fourth goal in the 83rd minute, when Mavropanos netted his second of the evening, capping a dominant display from the home side.
Both managers turned to their benches in the final half-hour, with Wolves introducing Rodrigo Gomes, Mateus Mané, Toluwalas Arokodare and Hwang Heechan in search of a response, while West Ham brought on Adama Traoré, Freddie Potts, Callum Wilson and Soungoutou Magassa to manage the closing stages.
