Fans celebrate Jarrod Bowen's late goal that secured the win
London, England - A late goal from Jarrod Bowen handed West Ham United a crucial 2-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux Stadium on Saturday, reigniting the Hammers' hopes of securing a UEFA Champions League berth.
The hosts took the lead through Raul Jimenez's header in the first half, but the Hammers fought back with a stunning equalizer from Said Benrahma in the 70th minute. Bowen's decisive goal came just four minutes later, sending the travelling West Ham fans into raptures.
The victory moves West Ham up to fifth place in the Premier League standings, just three points behind fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur with four games remaining. The Hammers will now look to maintain their momentum when they face Arsenal next week in a crucial clash for their Champions League aspirations.
For Wolves, the defeat leaves them in 10th place and all but ends their hopes of a top-six finish this season. Bruno Lage's men will now look to finish the campaign strongly and secure a place in the UEFA Europa League or UEFA Conference League.
