SPORTS 14 NUNO ESPIRITO SANTO insisted nothing has changed after West Ham beat Wolves 4-0 at the London Stadium to move out of the Premier League relegation zone for the first time since December and push Tottenham into the bottom three. Two goals each from Konstantinos Mavropanos and Taty Castellanos saw the Hammers sweep away the League’s bottom side and win for the fifth time in their last 11 matches, leaving their rivals from north London facing the unthinkable prospect of dropping into the Championship.
Hammers out of drop zone … but Espirito Santo insists crucial win ‘doesn’t change anything’
“If someone had said at half-time we were going to lose 4-0 I wouldn’t have believed them. “We have to fight till the end of the 38th game. We’re doing it for ourselves, for our families, everyone, it’s really important for the football club. “Regardless of what happens, we have to make sure that we respond and give every thing. I’m pretty confident the group will do that.” – The Independent

lowed but since then the team have not looked back. “I hope (the best result) is still in front of us,” said Nuno. “That afternoon was tough at Wolves for everybody at the club. Today we changed the dynamic.” Nuno was particularly pleased with his goalscorers. Mavropanos has now got three in three in the league, and asked whether he had had been aware of the defender’s goal threat, he said: “Nobody knew. We are delighted. I hope it continues.” Of Castellanos, who joined from Lazio in January and has now scored four times, Nuno said: “All the players that joined us, the squad has integrated them really well. “It’s fine margins that change every thing in terms of confidence. Forward players, it changes everything when they have confidence.” Wolves’ brief revival after three games unbeaten was ended and relega tion for them could now be confirmed as early as next week away to Leeds. “I thought the first half was quite good, especially away from home, but they punish mistakes,” said Edwards. “Those two quick-fire goals have cost us the game. the bigger chances and kept them away from our goal. “I felt we were just a final pass away tonight – the right shot, choosing the right pass. The big moment, the goalkeeper’s (Anthony Patterson) made a great save so I think overall it’s probably a fair result.” While it might be two points missed for Millwall, it is another one gained for West Bromwich Albion in their fight to avoid the drop. “I thought first half we had the better of the game, in terms of clear-cut chances we should score at least one. Josh Coburn’s chance is the best of the game,” Millwall boss Alex Neil told BBC Radio London . “We struggled to keep the ball at the top end of the pitch the last 20 or 30 min utes of the game and couldn’t muster enough opportunities to win it. I thought if we were going to win it, it would be in the first half if we got the first goal. “Like I said to the lads afterwards, if you can’t win it, just make sure you don’t lose it.” – Agencies
The hosts were wasteful in the first half but came alive once Mavropanos headed them in front three minutes before the break. Castellanos then struck twice in two minutes midway through the second period to double his tally since arriving in January, before Mavropanos vol leyed a late fourth. West Ham were seven points from safety after losing against Nottingham Forest in January but surely now hold the upper hand in the race for survival, with new Spurs boss Roberto De Zerbi set to begin his tenure away to Sunderland today looking upwards at the dotted line. However, Nuno believes climbing above their rivals alters nothing in the wider picture. “It doesn’t change anything,” he said. “Next week we play after all our oppo nents. We have to focus on ourselves and today we did the job.” The result threw West Ham’s revival under Nuno into sharp focus. The reverse fixture at Molineux in January was arguably the lowest point of the team’s season as they went down 3-0 to become the first team to lose to Rob Edwards’ side. Defeat to Nottingham Forest fol MILLWALL moved back to second in the Championship as they were held to a goalless draw at lowly West Bromwich Albion. The Lions moved one point ahead of Ipswich Town, who have three games in hand, and Middlesbrough in the race for automatic promotion before both play overnight. Josh Coburn volleyed wide and Mihailo Ivanovic hit the crossbar as the away side came closest in the first half. The Baggies did not have a shot on tar get until the 82nd minute, when Millwall goalkeeper Anthony Patterson diverted Jayson Molumby’s shot wide from point blank range. But it was the hosts who ended the game the stronger as they extended their unbeaten run under James Morrison to seven matches. “They had the better of the first 30 min utes,” Morrison told BBC Radio WM . “We needed to sort a couple of bits out at half-time and then I thought (in the) sec ond half we were the stronger team, had
