Wolves 4 (Miller 29, 54, Ince 72, Cort 76)

West Ham 2 (Zamora 36, 57)

  An end to end encounter with West Ham at Molineux ended with Wolves winning their first League fixture since the beginning of December. Two Kenny Miller goals were cancelled out by Bobby Zamora strikes before Paul Ince, against his old club, and Carl Cort got the goals that decided the contest.

  Glenn Hoddle fielded an unchanged team for the second of Wolves' quartet of consecutive games against London opposition.

  Wolves kicked-off attacking the North Bank end on a bleak, overcast afternoon. But the first threat came from the visitors when Jody Craddock was penalised after Marlon Harewood had tripped himself up near the Wolves right hand corner flag right in front of the linesman. Craddock was a good yard away!

  Sergei Rebrov swung over the free-kick but the danger was averted when Lee Naylor got a head to the ball and Mark Kennedy completed the clearance.

  Back came the Hammers and Luke Chadwick ran through the middle of the park before letting fly from 25-yards with a shot that easily cleared Matt Murray's crossbar.

  With seven minutes gone Seol took the ball to the by-line and pulled it back but his pass was behind Cort. Then Miller ran on to a Kennedy through pass and laid the ball into the path of Seyi George Olofinjana who fired over from just outside the box.

  Harewood volleyed over after Malky Mackay had nodded back Anton Ferdinand's free-kick and, when play switched to the opposite end, Seol miscued with a long-distance shot that was well off the mark.

  Murray had to parry a fierce effort from Rebrov but Wanderers were soon back on the offensive and former Walsall keeper Jimmy Walker did well to hold on to a low driven cross from Seol.

  With both teams committed to attack, a goal had to come and it did in the 29th minute with Miller netting his 11th of the campaign.

  Mark Clyde pumped a long free-kick into the West Ham box and when Cort won an aerial challenge the ball dropped nicely for Miller who made no mistake from six-yards out.

  Harewood almost carved out an equaliser for the visitors three minutes later when he beat Naylor on the right and crossed into a crowded area where Zamora and Chadwick appeared to get in each other's way allowing Olofinjana to clear.

  The Nigerian went into the book shortly afterwards after a trip on Rebrov and then, in the 36th minute, the Hammers drew level through Zamora who ran from a suspiciously offside looking position on to Rebrov's mis-hit drive to slot an angled shot past Murray.

  Just before the break, Cort's persistence saw the striker ride three challenges before squaring a pass to Seol whose shot was deflected for a corner off Tomas Repka. The South Korean took the flag-kick himself but the ball looped out of play and landed on to the roof of the net.

Half-Time: Wolves 1 West Ham 1

  Within two minutes of the start of the second-half, Hayden Mullins powered a header wide after he had run in to meet a free-kick from Chris Powell.

  Then Murray blocked bravely from Zamora after the striker had intercepted an underhit back pass from Kennedy as the visitors made a bright start to the new session.

  Clyde won a corner off Mark Noble but when Cort nodded Kennedy's kick down into the six-yard box, Joleon Lescott was penalised for a push on Ferdinand.

  There was no reprieve for the Hammers in the 54th minute though, as Miller restored Wolves' lead. Kennedy toyed with the idea of having a shot but then clipped the ball out to Seol who delivered a superb cross.

  Miller was waiting at the far post and he hit a ferocious volley that Walker got a hand to but couldn't prevent from crossing the line.

  Clyde made a superb intervention when he took the ball off the foot of Zamora right in front of goal at the expense of a corner which was cleared.

  But, just three minutes after Miller's goal, Zamora tapped the ball over the line for a second West Ham equaliser after Harewood had held off Craddock's challenge and drilled the ball into the goalmouth.

  The Hammers almost took the lead in the 63rd minute but Ferdinand's shot bounced clear off Clyde. Then Murray had to be alert as he dived to save a deflected shot from Rebrov.

  Chadwick was the next to be denied by the popular keeper who saved with his legs after the West Ham midfielder had run on to a Zamora pass.

  Colin Cameron came on for Olofinjana midway through the half and then Wolves took the lead for the third time with 72 minutes gone. And Ince, the subject of barracking throughout the game from the visiting supporters, was the man on target.

  Cort dispossessed Mackay in the Hammers' box and after Miller had failed to control the ball, Repka succeeded only in deflecting it into the path of Ince who raced in and beat Walker with a low shot from just inside the area. Ince then went on a joyous celebratory run.

  Four minutes later Cort bundled the ball in at the near post after another fine cross from Seol to virtually confirm that the three points would be staying at Molineux.

  There could have been more goals in the closing stages with Miller hooking wide after Cort had played the ball to him, and Lescott heading over after a Kennedy corner had been helped on.

  In the final seconds Cort hit a tremendous 30-yard volley into the side netting, and Ince was booked for an innocuous challenge on substitute Gavin Williams. But it was going to take more than that to spoil the skipper's day.
