West Ham United picked up a vital three points against Wolves in the Premier League on Monday night.
It was a hugely important result for the club, and one that saved Julen Lopetegui from losing his job at West Ham, for the time being at least.
Lopetegui is under intense pressure at the London Stadium right now, and it has been claimed that Sergio Conceicao is being lined up to replace him.
However, the 2-1 win over Wolves earned the Spaniard a bit of time, not much, but a little bit at least.
The outcome of Monday’s clash with Bournemouth will undoubtedly decide Lopetegui’s future.
