Graham Potter under pressure after third consecutive defeat: West Ham knocked out of the League Cup.

Hammer's game ends in defeat in the Cup

According to The Sun: Graham Potter finds himself under increasing pressure after his team lost their lead late in the match and was eliminated from the EFL Cup, losing to Wolverhampton.

Agoal by Rodrigo Gomez was equalized by Tom Soucek and Lucas Paquetá, but two quick replies from Jorgen Strand Larsen led to a tough defeat for the 'Hammers'.

Match summary

The match started with a tense game where both teams had their moments. Guido Rodriguez made a mistake in defense against Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, leading to a penalty for Wolverhampton.

The penalty from Hwang Hee-chan hit the post, but Rodrigo Gomez was quick to finish and opened the scoring before the break.

After the break, West Ham looked more active and began to pressure Wolverhampton's defense. This paid off: new signing Kyle Walker-Peters delivered the ball to Soucek, who scored.

Wolverhampton responded actively, but Jarrod Bowen struck again, delivering a perfect pass to Paquetá, who scored with a header.

Beautiful finish from Wolverhampton

Wolverhampton showed consistency, and Jorgen Strand Larsen, who came on as a substitute, not only equalized but scored a second goal with a header two minutes later, securing his team’s first victory of the season.

Meanwhile, West Ham continues to search for its first victory of the season, having lost the last three matches with an aggregate score of 3-11. The first match of the season ended in a 3-0 defeat by newcomers Sunderland, and afterwards the team suffered a heavy 5-1 loss to Chelsea. This increases the pressure on Graham Potter, who must find a way to get the team back on the winning path.
