Report, result, goals as Mavropanos and Castellanos goals ensure Tottenham enter Premier League relegation zone
Konstantinos Mavropanos and two Taty Castellanos scored twice each as West Ham moved out of the Premier League relegation zone at Tottenham’s expense with victory over Wolves at the London Stadium.
Centre-back Mavropanos met Jarrod Bowen’s cross with an expert header three minutes before the end of an uninspired first half between the Hammers and the bottom side, putting the Hammers on course to end a run of three straight draws in the top flight.

Angel Gomes hit a post from a free-kick for the visitors early in the second half, but West Ham responded by testing the woodwork through Jarrod Bowen’s drive and doubled their lead through Castellanos’ low finish inside the box after Wolves lost possession near the halfway line.

Castellanos repeated the trick from a Bowen pass two minutes later and Mavropanos volleyed in from close range with seven minutes remaining, ensuring West Ham rose two points clear of Spurs, who visit Sunderland on Sunday (14:00 BST), and 15 above Wolves.
