CONTEXT
The match is finished with West Ham United defeating Wolverhampton Wanderers 4-0 at full time. The home side led 1-0 at the interval and added three unanswered goals after the break to complete a comprehensive victory.

The result aligned with the pre-match projection overall, even though Wolverhampton Wanderers held more of the ball at 56 percent possession to West Ham’s 44 percent.
