Wolves dealt West Ham United their first defeat in five Premier League games on Saturday, but some Hammers fans reacting on social media still admired Aaron Cresswell’s efforts.
The Irons travelled to Molineux on a run of four-straight wins that moved David Moyes’ side into third-place. Having beaten Liverpool 3-2 before the recent international break.
West Ham had not lost on the road in any competition so far this season before visiting Wolves, as well. Their last defeat away from the London Stadium came on April 17.
But Raul Jimenez ended West Ham’s 11-game unbeaten streak away from the London Stadium to seal Wolves a 1-0 win.
The Mexican fired home his third goal of the season so far on 58-minutes for the Molineux outfit’s only strike.
Daniel Podence found Jimenez on the edge of the West Ham area with a low cut-back. He then swept the ball into the top corner of Lukasz Fabianski’s net, securing Wolves the win.
Wolves deserved to go ahead after dominating proceedings and creating several chances to score past West Ham.
The Irons operated below their usual standards under Moyes, with Michail Antonio and Jarrod Bowen blazing shots over the bar.

Cresswell particularly impressed some fans reacting on social media when the 31-year-old made a goal-saving block to deny Nelson Semedo.
The £50k-a-week full-back stopped what seemed a certain strike fining Fabianski’s net.
