Hammers slaughter Wolves at Molineux

Wolves 1 West Ham 3

West Ham United’s first half firepower propelled Alan Pardew’s men into the fifth round of the FA Cup after a 3-1 victory over Wolves at Molineux.

Brian Deane, Marlon Harewood and David Connolly bagged a goal apiece before the interval to see the Hammers safely into Monday’s fifth round draw at the expense of their Premiership hosts.

Vio Ganea was the player on target for Wolves but the Romanian’s first goal in English football served as scant consolation for the Black Country club.
