West Ham fight off Wolves as Divine Mukasa double eases pressure on Nuno

The Guardian · 3 hours ago

West Ham eased the pressure on manager Nuno Espírito Santo with a 4-2 Championship victory over Wolves, a result driven largely by two goals from teenage summer signing Divine Mukasa. Both clubs are still adjusting to life after relegation, and the win offers West Ham some brief respite amid ongoing uncertainty off the pitch, including interest from potential investor Amanda Staveley, who was seen in the stands.

Mukasa opened the scoring with a 25-yard strike off the underside of the bar before Jarrod Bowen added a penalty to make it 2-0 by half-time, only for Marshall Munetsi to pull one back for Wolves. After the break Mukasa struck again with a deflected effort, and Konstantinos Mavropanos volleyed home a rebound before turning a cross into his own net six minutes later to make it 4-2. Manchester City loanee Mukasa and midfielder Arne Engels both impressed on the day, while Wolves, managed by César Peixoto, showed technical quality but lacked composure at key moments.
