"Hwang Hee-Chan drove down the line and teed up Jhon Arias' fourth-minute finish before doubling Wolves' lead with a 31st-minute penalty. Matheus Mane won that spot-kick and added a third four minutes before half-time with a rasping drive past Alphonse Areola, who had expertly denied Tolu Arokodare's header from Joao Gomes' cross minutes earlier. Wolves could have added further gloss after the interval, though substitute Jorgen Strand Larsen headed wide, while Areola repelled strikes from Santiago Bueno and Mane."
"Data Debrief: Wolves roar against former boss Hwang set the tone as he both scored and assisted in a Premier League game for the first time, with his two goal involvements here more than he had managed in his previous 22 appearances. Mane then became Wolves' youngest ever goalscorer in the competition, aged just 18 years and 109 days, after blitzing a delightful goal past Areola."
Wolves secured their first Premier League victory of the 2025-26 season with a 3-0 home win over West Ham, ending a 20-game wait. Hwang Hee-Chan set up Jhon Arias' early goal, won the penalty that Matheus Mane converted, and Mane then added a third shortly before half-time. Wolves threatened further after the interval but West Ham offered little attacking response; Jose Sa remained untested and West Ham failed to register a shot on target. The result extended West Ham's winless run to nine matches and left them four points adrift of safety, increasing pressure on Nuno Espirito Santo.
