Wolves take another step towards security after Strand Larsen sees West Ham | Premier League

“Three points means three beers”, according to Vítor Pereira. The head of the Wolves and fans can enjoy some right pints after his team has moved 12 points free from the relegation area with a fought victory against West Ham.

Jørgen Strand Larsen scored the only goal to open a greater gap on Ipswich and Leicester, who both play on Wednesday. Their rivals have a game in their hand, but wolves will feel close to guaranteeing another season of Premier League Football after a meritorious victory against a West Ham team that he fought to move forward.

Graham Potter offered First West Ham starts to Luis Guilherme and Evan Ferguson to create a new front three together with Jarrod Bowen, while Pereira continued without the suspended Matheus Cunha. The Brazilian lost the two previous games, which the wolves have suffered a draw and win, Although his comments Feeling that it is the right time to move they were not warmly welcomed in Molineux.

The wolves are trying to make his way for the survival of the Premier League, helped by the discouraging state of the three teams worse than them. They looked nervous in defense, the slight threat of descending fired again on them, and a mistake by Toti Gomes allowed Bowen to burst on the right in the space, reaching the box before retiring for Ferguson who should have touched them to the post but he did the finish line, summarizing the West Ham in the first half.

Toti found confidence in the opposition box, launching a vicious free kick Rayan Aït-Nouri through Alphonse Areola, but the goalkeeper reacted instinctively in Palm Clear. Without Cunha, the wolves make more relying on the sets and have taken encouragement from their first opportunity.

In This device last seasonThe former captain of the wolves Massimilian Kilman thought he had scored a late equalizer, just for having excluded him from Var. However, it will not have been happy to have influenced the open on this occasion. Strand Larsen was given enough space to slowly turn his frame on the edge of the box and take aim, his shot diverted the defender of the West Ham Kilman and on the net.

The injustice of the result a year ago had potentially finished the hosts while the game became an increasingly fiery meeting. Tony Harrington was required to maintain the order while the challenges flew, often followed by a little thrust and pushing for a good measure.

With the stadium revived and the team’s morality increased, the wolves should have had a second when João Gomes was intertwined through the backline of the West Ham and found Strand Larsen, he placed him on the path of Marshall Mundi who was unleashed against the shot against the bar. The downside was that Gomes apparently optimized his groin halfway through drips and collapsed on the turf but was able to recover and continue.

The wolves were dominant and a fundamental part of this was the work of André and Gomes, who signed a new five -year agreement in Molineux, in the middle. It is a coupling that require the field. James Ward-Prowse and Lucas Paquetá did not match the golden shirts, who had more energy and aggression where he counted, while the wolves had a grip on the game.

Potter, seeing how the game was going, made a triple replacement in half time, sending two central midfielders and Niclas Füllkrug. He brought West Ham playing with four on the back and allowed Paquetá to go later in the hope of being able to find positions from which to influence the game more frequently.

The change in training has finished the ability of the wolves to control the game, which has become scarce since neither parts was able to wisely use the ball. The tiring fouls that were regular events before the break grew in number and Harrington had to even book one of the Wolves Backroom staff, André Monteiro, for his protests from shelter. It was a bit surprising that the referee felt the complaints in the midst of the coast in the crowd every time the whistle was hit.

Few possibilities have been created, which means that there was extreme excitement in the away end when Füllkrug brought a boot on the chin in the box from Matt Doherty. Harrington has redeemed himself in the eyes of the faithful of Molineux not giving a penalty and therefore booking the striker of Germany for his protests.

Füllkrug almost had the last laugh when his header hit the bar and bounced the Emerson substitute that shot. There was a nervous tension inside the players and fans of the wolves, something that West Ham did their best to take advantage of; Without success while Tomas Soucek blown late, ensuring that the pints flow.
