WOLVERHAMPTON, England — Wolverhampton Wanderers secured their first Premier League victory of the 2025–26 season, defeating West Ham United 3–0 on Saturday afternoon at Molineux Stadium, ending a 19-match winless start to the campaign in emphatic fashion, according to league sources and match reports.
Wolves opened the scoring early when Jhon Arias struck in the fourth minute. Hwang Hee-Chan added a second with a first-half penalty, and 18-year-old Mateus Mané sealed the result with a strike just before halftime as the home side dominated proceedings.
West Ham, struggling in the relegation zone, failed to register a shot on target and were unable to respond in the second half as Wolves maintained control. The result lifts a significant burden off bottom-placed Wolves, who had set a new Premier League record for the longest wait for a first victory this season.
Wolves head coach Rob Edwards praised his side’s resilience after a difficult start to the season, noting that breaking the winless streak was a “huge moment” for the club. Meanwhile, West Ham boss Nuno Espírito Santo faced intensified scrutiny as his side extended their own winless run to nine matches.
The defeat leaves West Ham four points adrift of the safety zone in 18th place, amplifying pressure on the London club as they prepare for upcoming fixtures against fellow relegation battlers. Wolves, still bottom of the table, will look to build on the morale-boosting victory in their next match, which is scheduled away at Everton later this week.
