Doyle delivers for resurgent Wolves

WOLVES took a giant step towards securing their Premier League survival last night as Kevin Doyle led a comprehensive victory at Upton Park which plunged West Ham deeper into relegation trouble.

Manager Mick McCarthy praised his team’s “terrific” display as man of the match Doyle opened the scoring before Ronald Zubar and Matthew Jarvis added strikes to help Wolves move seven points clear of Burnley and Hull, who occupy relegation places.

“We played well. I think the pressure was on them at home,” McCarthy said. “It’s a game they expected to win. We’ve not let them play, we’ve kept the ball and we managed to score three goals in what I thought was a terrific performance.”
