The visit finally brought West Ham United its desired 2-1 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers at the London Stadium to end the winless streak and ease pressure on Julen Lopetegui.
Wolves wing-back Matt Doherty struck a rare goal on 69 minutes to cancel out Tomas Soucek's looping header, 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 only two minutes and 17 seconds later, according to Premier League reports.
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 fourth-bottom Crystal Palace. Meanwhile, West Ham remain 14th, but with their cushion to the bottom three increased to nine points.
Neither side could break the deadlock during the first half, as Joao Gomes saw a clear chance go begging with a shot that was skewed wide, while Bowen and Kudus both tested goalkeeper Sam Johnstone.
West Ham took the lead nine minutes after the break when Tomas Soucek, unmarked at the back post, headed Bowen's corner over Johnstone and past Gomes, who was covering on the line.
The last game belonged to Kudus with thoughts on double he entered after turning in Bowen's cross, but a VAR reviewed him offside. He got rewarded by Wolves who have capitalized on the decision because Matt Doherty put a low volley past the face of Lukasz Fabianski from 12 yards with the equalizer.
Within little moments afterwards, West Ham responded speedily as Bowen easily turned down on Goncalo Guedes. He curled the ball across into the bottom-left to prove the winner.
"We are happy, we dedicate the victory to Michail and his family. It has been tough the last days - the last week - the last days especially. He deserves this. We love a lot Michail, he's a special person for us. I'm sure he'll overcome this bad moment and come back. Today the best thing we can do is get the victory for him," West Ham manager Lopetegui said.
