Wolves 3-2 West Ham: Jorgen Strand Larsen’s brace off the bench propels team into the Carabao Cup third round. Jorgen Strand Larsen emerged from the substitutes’ bench to net two goals as Wolves rallied to overcome West Ham 3-2 in the Carabao Cup, marking another defeat for Graham Potter.
The West Ham manager seemed poised for his first victory of the season after strikes from Tomas Soucek and Lucas Paqueta had put his team ahead, despite Rodrigo Gomes’ initial goal. However, the dynamics of the match shifted dramatically with Strand Larsen’s introduction.
The Norwegian forward has attracted interest from Newcastle and demonstrated his worth with a deft finish using his weaker foot, followed by a header that clinched the victory, much to the joy of the Molineux supporters who roared in appreciation for their striker.
Both squads entered this contest having lost their opening two Premier League matches, yet it is Vitor Pereira’s side that has found encouragement from their cup triumph and advancement to the third round. Potter’s challenges persist, leaving a substantial number of traveling fans dissatisfied.
