West Ham Slump to Embarrassing 0-3 Defeat vs Wolves, Relegation Woes Worsen

A major upset unfolded in the Premier League as West Ham United suffered a 3-0 away defeat to bottom-of-the-table Wolverhampton Wanderers, handing the hosts their first win and first clean sheet of the season. Jhon Arias, Hwang Hee-chan, and Mateus Mane scored in a 37-minute spell, completely dismantling the Hammers' defense. With this loss, West Ham have conceded 41 goals in the Premier League this season, the most in the division, marking their worst defensive record after 20 games since the 1965-66 season.

In contrast to Wolves, who are trapped in the relegation zone but showed great fighting spirit and desire, West Ham's performance was apathetic, disjointed, and toothless, failing to register a single shot on target against the league's weakest defense. The team has not won a league game since November, with their slump becoming increasingly evident. Away fans vented their frustration, and head coach Nuno Espirito Santo broke his usual post-match tradition by not applauding the traveling supporters, a clear sign that the pressure within the team has reached a breaking point.

In a post-match interview, Nuno apologized profusely to the fans, describing the performance as "embarrassing" and "very poor," and the worst during his tenure. The manager, who took over in late September, has only managed two wins and eight losses in 15 Premier League games. Now that the team has become a relegation candidate, their next game against fellow relegation strugglers Nottingham Forest, a crucial six-pointer, will determine his future and the team's season trajectory.
