Jorgen Strand Larsen scored the decisive goal as Wolves beat West Ham at Molineux, a win that increased the buffer between themselves and the relegation zone to 12 points.

The Norwegian striker has scored three goals in his past two games, but it was team-mate Joao Gomes who really stood out on Tuesday evening.

Earlier in the day, Brazil midfielder Gomes signed a new five-year contract with the club, and a few hours later he produced another terrific performance to celebrate.

The 24-year-old produced a series of mazy runs in the first half, one of which resulted in Strand Larsen finishing past Alphonse Areola.

Wolves lost control of the game in the second half as West Ham pushed with renewed enthusiasm, but Gomes showed a more combative side to his game to help see out the win.
