Wolves Stage Dramatic Comeback
Wolverhampton Wanderers secured a thrilling 3–2 victory over West Ham United in the Carabao Cup second round on August 26, 2025. Despite trailing 1–2 with just eight minutes remaining, Wolves mounted a stunning comeback with two quick-fire goals from Jørgen Strand Larsen, propelling them into the third round.
West Ham’s Late Collapse
West Ham had initially taken the lead through Tomas Souček and Lucas Paquetá, but their advantage slipped away as Wolves capitalized on defensive lapses. The defeat marks a significant blow for West Ham, who have now exited the competition earlier than expected.
Wolves’ First Win of the Season
This victory also marks Wolves’ first win of the 2025/26 season, providing a much-needed boost to their morale. Manager Vítor Pereira praised Strand Larsen’s resilience, especially amid ongoing transfer speculation linking him to Newcastle United.
