JAKARTA – West Ham won a big victory, another team was the victim. West Ham successfully destroyed Wolverhampton Wanderers 4-0 in an English Premier League match at London Stadium, Saturday, April 11, 2026 WIB. The victory made Tottenham Hotspur have to drop in rank and enter the relegation zone.
Tottenham’s new manager Roberto De Zerbi will make his debut against hosts Sunderland, Sunday, April 12, 2026 WIB. However, De Zerbi has to face the fact that Hotspur has fallen into the relegation zone.
As a result, West Ham managed to win an important victory that led to a shift in the lower ranks. The success of winning three points when hosting Wolves made West Ham out of the relegation zone. Now, the London club has risen to 17th place with 32 points. The same as Nottingham Forest, but The Hammers are still behind in goal difference.
West Ham’s success in escaping relegation has brought casualties. Another London club, Hotspur, was forced to drop positions and is now in the relegation zone. With 30 points, they are in 18th place. However, The Lilywhites will return from the red zone if they manage to beat Sunderland.
The competition at the bottom of the table is indeed tighter than the rivalry of Arsenal who leads the standings with Manchester City. Even Arsenal is predicted to grab the league title trophy for the first time since 2004 because they are nine points ahead.
Meanwhile, Hotspur must fight hard not to be relegated for the first time since 1977/1978. There are still seven more matches that give the De Zerbi team the opportunity to get out of the relegation threat.
On the other hand, Wolves who again suffered a defeat are sinking deeper at the bottom of the standings. With 17 points, Wolves have to prepare to leave the Premier League to compete in the Championship next season.
Even though they won big, West Ham actually had difficulties. Even the hosts were under pressure in the early minutes of the match. At least, striker Adam Armstrong had the opportunity to score when he took advantage of the mistake of defender El Hadji Diouf. Fortunately, Armstrong couldn’t take advantage of the opportunity because his shot failed to reach the target.
Next, Armstrong again got a good chance. Only his header from close range could be saved by goalkeeper Mads Hermansen, which made West Ham avoid conceding.
The hosts slowly began to rise and get out of the pressure. They finally managed to break the deadlock when defender Konstantinos Mavropanos, who also layered the attack when he got a corner kick, defeated goalkeeper Jose Sa in the 42nd minute.
The goal started from West Ham’s corner kick by Jarrod Bowen. The ball could actually be thrown away but was received by a West Ham player who gave the ball to Bowen. He again shot towards the goal which was met with a header from Mavropanos.
The score changed 1-0 for West Ham. Although the goal lifted the spirits of the home players, they failed to increase the lead so that the score remained until the first half ended.
In the second half, West Ham played more aggressively which forced Wolves to defend more. The match only lasted a few minutes, Bowen almost added a goal when his shot hit the goalpost.
After many failed attempts, Nuno Espirito Santo’s team finally managed to add a goal. Striker Valentin Castellanos showed his sharpness by scoring a brace.
The former Lazio striker worked one-two with Pablo and despite falling he had more shots to beat Sa. The goal in the 66th minute gave West Ham a 2-0 lead.
Furthermore, West Ham didn’t take long to consolidate the lead. Only two minutes later, Castellanos was able to score his second goal when his kick hit the Wolves player’s leg, slightly deflecting before sliding into the goal.
West Ham is still not satisfied even though they are 3-0 ahead. Mavropanos matched Castellanos’ success by scoring a brace after his volley hit the Wolves goal in the 83rd minute. The score became 4-0 for West Ham and lasted until the end of the match.
