Wolves continued their winning streak in the Premier League by defeating West Ham 1-0 at Molineux, much to the delight of Vitor Pereira and the home crowd.
The victory not only earned them three crucial points but also lifted Wolves 12 points clear of the relegation zone, ensuring their place in the Premier League for next season.
Jorgen Strand Larsen once again played a crucial role in securing the win with his first-half goal, but it was the team’s impressive overall performance that caught the attention of both Pereira and opposition manager Graham Potter.
Pereira praised his team’s “fantastic” display in the first half, a sentiment echoed by Potter, who admitted Wolves had pushed West Ham back more than they would have liked.
The transformation of Wolves under Pereira has been significant, with the team now showing resilience and a strong defensive identity that was lacking before his arrival.
The victory over West Ham was evidence of Wolves’ newfound strength and determination, and with 24 points left to play for, Pereira remains focused on finishing the season strongly.
Despite the defeat, both Potter and Jarrod Bowen acknowledged Wolves’ dominance in the first half and the challenge of breaking down their well-organized defense.
Under Pereira’s guidance, Wolves have established a clear identity and become a formidable team to face in the Premier League, a far cry from the side that struggled earlier in the season.
