West Ham United beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-1 at the London Stadium to ease the pressure on head coach Julen Lopetegui.
Monday’s match was billed as a vital one for both clubs, with Lopetegui and O’Neil seeing their positions called into question after damaging defeats last week.
Wolves wing-back Matt Doherty struck a rare goal to cancel out Tomas Soucek’s looping header with 21 minutes remaining, as things livened up after a tepid first half.
But West Ham, who also saw a Mohammed Kudus strike overturned following a VAR review at 1-0 up, restored their lead through Jarrod Bowen’s cultured finish just three minutes later.
Wolves were unable to find a second leveller as they fell to a third successive loss, a result that leaves them 19th in the Premier League table and four points from safety. West Ham stay 14th, but with their cushion to the bottom three increased to nine points.
