West Ham 2-1 Wolves: Premier League – live reaction | Premier League - sportsnewsfoot

Full-time: West Ham 2-1 Wolves

90+8 min: Back come Wolves, but it’s just a hopeful cross into West Ham’s box, and Bellegarde pokes wide an effort on goal. That might be that.

90+7 min: The camera pans to the Wolves fans. There are some glum faces out there in the cold.

90+6 min: West Ham sub Rodríguez is harshly carded for a challenge on Semedo. A chance for Wolves to pack the box. Doyle crosses but Lemina fails to connect properly with his header.

90+4 min: Fabianski is the latest to be cautioned, this time for time wasting. The West Ham keeper was loitering over a free-kick.

90+3 min: West Ham eat up the minutes with some bitty play, resulting in a free kick to the home side. Cresswell, playing his 299th game for the Hammers, whips in a cross for Soucek, who heads wide.

90 min: Eight minutes added on! Groans go around the stadium, and Lopetegui wears a face of utter disgust at the fourth official.

88 min: More substitutions.

West Ham make three subs: Todibo for Alvaraz, which means West Ham are going to a five at the back. Rodríguez for Kudus. Cresswell for Emerson, who was booked.

Wolves bring on Rodrigo Gomes for Ait Nouri.

GOAL DISALLOWED FOR WEST HAM

Penalty shout for Wolves!

80 min: Wolves are definitely not out of this. Scoring has not been their problem this season, and once again they flood forward in numbers. Cunha does well to find Lemina, who sidefoots a strong shot at goal, but Fabianski reads it well. There is some nervous energy in the stadium, though. West Ham haven’t won here since beating Manchester United in October.

78 min: Both sides make changes. West Ham bring on Ings for Summerville, a surprising change perhaps. Wolves bring on Doyle for João Gomes, who had been booked and looked like he was losing his rag a bit.

75 min: In a further blow to Wolves, it does look like Mavropanos made a fairly blatant foul in the build-up to that second West Ham goal. But the referee and VAR missed it.

Kudus wriggles and turns, lays a ball back to Bowen on the edge of Wolves’ area. Bowen sends Guedes to the shops with a fake shot, somehow finds some room, and curls a textbook finish into the far corner! Classic Bowen, that. It’s 2-1!

GOAL! West Ham 2-1 Wolves (Bowen 72)

A sensational goal, and fair play to Wolves, who did not linger on that penalty shout that got away from them. Johnstone finds Guedes on the left wing with a brilliant diagonal pass, he finds Ait Nouri. The Algeria international sends an excellent cross into the box, and Doherty volleys a finish past Fabianski on the slide. He almost tackled it into the net!

68 min: Biiiiiiiiiig penalty shout for Wolves! Ooooooooh, Emerson is lucky to get away with a very clumsy tackle on Guedes, who was racing through on goal. Emersen certainly made contact with Guedes, who fell just inside the West Ham area. But VAR check the incident and there’s no foul. O’Neil is incensed!

66 min: Certainly a bit more pep in Wolves’ step now! They have a renewed sense of purpose with those subs.

64 min: João Gomes is the latest to be cautioned for Wolves, sliding in late on Summerville.

62 min: A lucky break for Wolves, and O’Neil is not hanging about now. He makes two changes with Bellegarde and Gonçalo Guedes coming on for Larsen and Andre.

West Ham also make a change, with Paqueta on for Soler, who had been booked. That’s a straight swap.

WEST HAM GOAL DISALLOWED!

58 min: Replays are being shown of the passage of play leading up to that West Ham corner. It appears that it should never have been a West Ham corner at all, with Wan-Bissaka getting the last touch in a challenge with Lemina. That will sting for O’Neil, but it wasn’t immediately obvious in full speed.

56 min: Cunha, who has been beneath his usual high standards tonight, runs out of options as he comes forward for Wolves, and fires a tired shot high and wide. This is not pretty viewing for the away fans.

This is such a cheap goal for Wolves to concede! It’s not a particularly enterprising corner from West Ham, with Bowen swinging a deep cross towards the back post. Soucek, West Ham’s biggest player, is completely unmarked and loops a header back over Johnstone’s head and into the far corner. Soucek holds up nine fingers in celebration, for Antonio (who wears No 9 for West Ham). One-nil! A massive goal.

GOAL! West Ham 1-0 Wolves (Soucek 53)

51 min: Soler is next to be yellow carded, needlessly kicking the ball away after a cheap free kick. Silly.

49 min: Thirty seconds later, Doherty goes through the back of Summerville and – finally – into the book.

48 min: Doherty has already gone through Summerville on a few occasions and is incredibly lucky not to be booked for a clumsy lunge on Alvarez in midfield. Not quite sure how he’s avoided a caution, there.

46 min: A really good chance for Wolves, wasted! Ait Nouri gets free on the left and only needs to cross for an unmarked Doherty at the back post, but the Algeria international overcooks his cross! Ooooooooh, that should have been an easy tap in at the back stick.

Peeeeeeeep! We’re off again in east London. No changes made from either side. I suspect it won’t stay like that for long.

Half-time reading:

Half-time: West Ham 0-0 Wolves

45+1 min: A brief scramble in West Ham’s box is dangerous for the home side with Lemina and Doherty trying to force the ball towards Fabianski’s net, but the ball breaks to Summerville, who sprints up the field on the counter attack, only to be completely upended by Cunha just inside West Ham’s half. A blatant yellow. I am fairly certain that Summerville did a somersault there, such was the speed he was moving.
