Hwang Hee-chan is out. Wolverhampton are struggling in the relegation zone with three consecutive league defeats.

Wolverhampton lost 1-2 in an away match against West Ham United in the 2024-2025 English Premier League (EPL) at London Stadium on the 10th (Korea Standard Time).

Wolverhampton, who has lost three games in a row due to this defeat, finished 19th in the relegation league with two wins, three draws and 10 losses (9 points).




Wolverhampton operated a 3-4-2-1 formation. Strand Larsen, Matheus Cunha, João Gomes, Ait Nouri, Lemina, Andre, Doherty, Toti Gomes, Bueno, Nelsong Semedu and Johnstone started.

Against this, West Ham started 4-2-3-1. Bowen, Somerville, Carlos Soler, Kudus, Soucek, Alvarez, Emerson, Kilman, Mavropano, Wan Bissaka and Fabianski started.

In the 9th minute of the second half, West Ham's Thomas Soucek scored the first goal. Soucek, who received Bowen's cross from a corner kick, scored in the top right corner with a header from a difficult angle.




Wolverhampton followed Matt Doherty's equaliser in the 24th minute of the second half. Doherty, who received a pass from Ait Nuri, cut into the bottom left corner of the net with a left-footed shot from the center of the box.

But the joy did not last long. Three minutes later, Bowen scored the winning goal and lost helplessly. Bowen, who received a pass from Kudus in a set-piece situation, cut the bottom left corner of the goal with a left-footed shot.

Wolverhampton manager Gary O'Neill used four replacement cards on the day. The team was losing ground, but Hwang Hee-chan was not chosen in the end. Some point out that there is no Hwang Hee-chan in coach O'Neill's future plan as he was turned away as a striker even when he needed a goal.




Hwang Hee-chan's status in the team is falling. He has played 297 minutes in nine league games this season and has not scored a single goal or assist. He also failed to score an offensive point in two EFL Cup games (one starting game).

Of the 15 league games this season, he has played nine games. Most of them played briefly at the end of the second half.

He is showing the complete opposite of last season, when he scored 13 goals and three assists in 31 games.
