West Ham exited the Carabao Cup after Jorgen Strand Larsen scored twice late to give Wolves a 2–1 victory at Molineux. Manager Graham Potter introduced Niclas Fullkrug and Callum Wilson in search of an equaliser but the substitutes could not prevent defeat. Strand Larsen is reportedly the subject of a £55 million bid from Newcastle United. West Ham suffered recent heavy defeats, losing 5–1 to Chelsea and 3–0 to Sunderland. After full-time Jarrod Bowen engaged in a verbal confrontation with a travelling supporter, with teammates and stewards restraining him before tensions calmed.
West Ham will not be challenging for silverware in the League Cup this term, after the Hammers were knocked out by two Jorgen Strand Larsen goals. Wolves found themselves 2-1 down during the second half at Molineux but the introduction of Norwegian forward Strand Larsen changed the dynamic of the fixture. The striker, who is the subject of a 55 million bid by Newcastle United, found the net in the 82nd and 84th minutes, turning the game on its head.
Upon the full-time whistle at Molineux, West Ham's players approached the travelling supporters, presumably to thank them for making the midweek journey. Usually mild-mannered and level-headed, England forward Jarrod Bowen became engaged in a war of words with a supporter situated in the away end. Bowen tried to approach the fan, even straddling the advertising hoarding in an attempt to confront the individual, in scenes that were broadcast on Sky Sports News.
