West Ham beat Wolves for first Championship win
LONDON: West Ham secured their first win of the Championship season as Manchester City loanee Divine Mukasa scored twice in a 4-2 win over Wolves at the London Stadium.
LONDON - West Ham secured their first win of the Championship season, beating Wolverhampton Wanderers 4-2 at the London Stadium. Manchester City loanee Divine Mukasa scored twice, opening the scoring with a deflected effort and adding a second goal, propelling West Ham to an 11th-place ranking. Nuno Espirito Santo's side managed to climb up the table after picking up just two points from their first three league games of the campaign.
Wolves, one of the two sides relegated from the Premier League last season, had enjoyed a better start but could only manage to scrape a draw. Jarrod Bowen netted his first league goal of the season, and Marshall Munetsi pulled a goal back for Wolverhampton, but Mukasa's two goals proved decisive. Swansea's 2-0 win over Watford put them at the top of the table, while Southampton's charge up the table was halted in a 1-1 draw at Birmingham.
Bristol City climbed into fifth place with a 3-1 win at Preston, and Sheffield United edged out Bolton 3-2 thanks to a stoppage-time goal.
