West Ham called for heroes in their match against Wolves, and they found them in Konstantinos Mavropanos and Valentín Castellanos, both of whom scored two goals to secure a vital three points in their fight for Premier League survival.
The Greek defender has solidified his position at the back in recent weeks but had only managed to score twice in his first 95 appearances for the club before this pivotal match.

That tally doubled tonight as he netted two impressive goals, starting with a powerful header that beat José Sá, giving West Ham a crucial lead at half-time.
As is often the case with West Ham’s scoring, Jarrod Bowen played a key role, delivering a precise cross into the box that allowed Mavropanos to capitalize.
Valentín Castellanos, a more instinctive scorer, then quickly added two goals within just two minutes, sealing a vital victory for Nuno’s team. Mavropanos joined him on a brace with a spectacular acrobatic goal seven minutes before the final whistle.
This win will lift West Ham out of the relegation zone for the first time in months, while pushing Spurs into the danger area for at least the next 36 hours.
