Jimenez netted his third goal of the season in the 58th
minute having been teed up by Daniel Podence, who had twice been denied by
goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski earlier in the second half.
It was West Ham’s first away loss in the league since April
and ended a run of four straight wins.
For Bruno Lage’s Wolves it was a fifth win in seven games
and lifted them up to sixth in the table, while David Moyes’ Hammers remained
third ahead of Liverpool’s clash with Arsenal later on Saturday.
West Ham thought it had taken the lead just before the
interval but Kurt Zouma’s header was disallowed for a foul.
Three minutes into the second half, Fabianski did well to
get down and turn Podence’s strike around a post, and the goalkeeper produced
another fine save to thwart the Portuguese in the 56th.
Fabianski was finally beaten when Podence laid the ball to
Jimenez, who swept the ball into the bottom corner from the edge of the box.
