West Ham stay in 17th place in the Premier League table and will be desperately looking over their shoulder as they bid to avoid the drop.

Wolves have moved themselves into serious contention for a Champions League spot as they only sit behind fifth-placed Manchester United on goal difference.

Super sub Adama Traore’s cross teed up Jimenez in the 73rd minute with an unmissable opportunity to nod in his 14th goal of the season from a just a few yards out.

The physical Spaniard also begun the move that ended in team-mate and fellow replacement Neto’s worldie.

Neto lashed home a left-footed volley into the roof of the net from Matt Doherty’s cross to secure the three points for the visitors in the 84th minute.

The stunning strike ended the game as a contest and thrust the Hammers right into the middle of the relegation struggle.
