West Ham have fresh hope
– but Spurs now in uncharted territory
West Ham thrash Wolves to move out of relegation zone
After a season of turmoil, at last some light at the end of the tunnel for West Ham.
Friday’s thumping 4-0 win over Wolves – their biggest of the campaign so far – lifted West Ham out of the Premier League relegation zone, and plunged London rivals Tottenham into it.
Just three points now separate four teams in the battle to avoid the third relegation spot, with Wolves and Burnley both having been cut further adrift.
West Ham manager Nuno Espirito Santo insisted there was still “a lot of work to do” – but enjoyed a “big step” towards safety after Taty Castellanos and Konstantinos Mavropanos both scored twice at London Stadium.
“We are happy, extremely happy,” he told Sky Sports. “All of us deserve this kind of evening, especially our fans.
“The London Stadium today was amazing, bouncing with energy and helping us in the hard parts.”
But while West Ham fans were bouncing, Tottenham supporters watching at home were likely slumping further into their armchairs as each goal went in.
Spurs, who face Sunderland on Sunday in new boss Roberto de Zerbi’s first game in charge, are now in completely uncharted territory.
