West Ham's 4-0 Win Lifts Them Out of Relegation Zone

West Ham United secured a crucial 4-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers at the London Stadium on Friday, lifting the Hammers out of the Premier League relegation zone for the first time since December and thrusting rivals Tottenham Hotspur into the bottom three.

The result marked West Ham's fifth win in their last 11 matches, a stark turnaround from a winless streak of 10 games that followed a home defeat to Nottingham Forest in January. At that point, the team sat seven points from safety, with relegation to the Championship appearing inevitable. Under coach Nuno Espirito Santo, who replaced Graham Potter earlier in the season, West Ham have since stabilized their defense and injected new energy into their attack.

Konstantinos Mavropanos opened the scoring with a header from a Jarrod Bowen cross in the 42nd minute, just before halftime. Valentín Castellanos then struck twice in quick succession midway through the second half, capitalizing on defensive lapses by Wolves in the 66th and 68th minutes. Mavropanos sealed the win with an acrobatic volley from a corner in the 83rd minute, completing his brace and sparking joyous scenes among the home supporters.
