Wolves claims its first Premier League win of the season at the 20th attempt WOLVERHAMPTON, England (AP) --- It has taken 20 games but Wolverhampton Wanderers finally have their first win in the Premier League. A 3-0 victory over West Ham at Molineux on Saturday brought some respite for Wolves after its historically bad start to a top-flight season. No team has taken this long to record its first win of a Premier League campaign since the competition's inception in 1992. The record for the longest winless start to a top-division campaign is held by Bolton Wanderers, who won for the first time in the 1902-03 season on their 22nd attempt. Wolves, which has won twice in the English League Cup this season --- including against West Ham --- last tasted success in the Premier League on April 26. That was a month before the end of last season. Jhon Arias, Hwang Hee-chan and Mateus Man scored first-half goals for Wolves, which moved onto six points --- still 12 from safety with 18 games remaining --- but was only six points behind next-to-last Burnley, which lost at Brighton 2-0 on Saturday. West Ham stayed in third-to-last place, four points from safety. ___ AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer
