West Ham slumped to their fourth straight league defeat of the new season as newly promoted Wolves came away from the London Stadium with all three points thanks to Adama Traore’s late winner. Despite the Hammers’ poor start to the season, few had expected Wolves to win on the road, with most pundits thinking that a draw was the best they could hope for.
West Ham made only one change from side that had lost to Arsenal, with Aaron Cresswell coming in at left back for the injured Arthur Masuaku. Cresswell, one could say, was partly at fault for Wolves’ goal, although more of the blame would probably lie at the feet of Carlos Sanchez, who got caught in possession in his own half after the home side decided to take a quick free kick.
Here is how various media outlets rated the Hammers Lukasz Fabianski was probably the best Hammer on show, with Sanchez getting plenty of flak. The performance of Robert Snodgrass drew mixed reactions- one outlet thought he was unlucky to be substituted off at half time, while another thought he was as bad as Sanchez on the day.
A lot to ponder over during the international break for Pellegrini and his support staff!
