Wolves take another step towards safety as Jorgen Strand Larsen downs West Ham
Wolves are 12 points clear of danger.
Jorgen Strand Larsen’s first-half strike moved Wolves 12 points clear of the Premier League relegation zone with a 1-0 home victory over West Ham.
Vitor Pereira’s side were five points adrift of safety when he replaced Gary O’Neil but successive league wins for the third time this season eased the Molineux club closer towards safety.
Evan Ferguson missed a glorious opportunity to give West Ham the lead on his first start for the club and the Hammers were punished by Larsen who put Wolves in front with his 10th goal of the campaign.
Marshall Munetsi fired against the upright which denied Wolves a second while they were on top and Graham Potter was forced to ring the changes with a triple substitution at the break.
