Jor in even more of a mess, Potter

PRESSURE RISES AS HAMMERS CRASH

- By Alan Smith

JORGEN STRAND LARSEN was sprung from the bench to transform Wolves’ fortunes and dig a deeper hole for under pressure Graham Potter.

Towering striker Larsen was the subject of a £50million bid from Newcastle on Monday that Wolves swiftly rebuffed.

And he was brought on with 17 minutes left last night to turn what seemed destined to be a second-round Carabao Cup exit into a win that inflicts more woe on struggling West Ham by scoring twice in as many minutes.

Rodrigo Gomes had put Vitor Pereira’s men ahead but the Hammers were much improved in the second half as Tomas Soucek levelled before Lucas Paqueta, recalled to the Brazil squad yesterday, headed them in front.
