Wolves claimed a long-awaited Premier League victory with a commanding 3-0 win over West Ham at Molineux, ending their winless run in emphatic fashion. The damage was done in an impressive first-half display from the hosts. Jhon Arias opened the scoring inside four minutes, steering home from close range after a well-worked move involving Mateus Mane and Hee-Chan Hwang. Wolves doubled their advantage midway through the half when Hwang calmly converted from the penalty spot following a foul on Mane.

Wolverhampton Wanderers find themselves in a position few clubs ever escape. After 18 Premier League matches, their campaign has descended into a statistical nightmare that places them alongside (and in some cases below) the division's most notorious underperformers. While managerial change often offers a reset, Wolves' early-season numbers suggest this season could drift beyond a simple relegation fight and into historically poor territory.

As the half-time scores drifted in, two questions dominated the airwaves. Was Daniel Farke 45 minutes away from the sack? And just how underwhelming a summer signing had Dominic Calvert-Lewin been? As television and radio pundits agreed, the Leeds manager was in a precarious position, something extraordinary was unfolding in the away dressing room at the Etihad Stadium. It was late November and Leeds were trailing 2-0 to Manchester City.

Jean-Philippe Mateta's first-half header looked like it would earn Palace three points at Selhurst Park on New Year's Day, but Cairney's excellent leveller meant the spoils were shared. Fulham saw Raul Jimenez hit the post prior to Cairney's equaliser, and Timothy Castagne and Joachim Andersen wasted gilt-edged chances to grab the win in second-half injury time.
