# Two of West Ham’s top performers make the BBC Football Team of the Week

- **West Ham beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 4-0 on Friday night**
- **The three points took the Hammers out of the bottom three**
- **Konstantinos Mavropanos and Valentin Castellanos both scored twice**

West Ham United secured an emphatic win over Wolverhampton Wanderers on Friday night. [The three points](https://readwestham.com/2026/04/10/west-ham-4-0-wolverhampton-wanderers-premier-league/) takes the Hammers [out of the relegation zone](https://readwestham.com/2026/04/14/west-ham-survival-gameweek-32/), plummeting [Tottenham Hotspur](https://readtottenham.com/) into their old position.

[Nuno Espirito Santo’s team](https://readwestham.com/2026/04/11/west-ham-nuno-espirito-santo-west-ham-vs-wolves/) arguably laid out one of their best performances of the season to dismantle Wolves. [Every West Ham player had a part to play](https://readwestham.com/2026/04/10/west-ham-4-0-wolverhampton-wanderers-player-ratings/) and did so with flying colours to get the team over the line.

Despite everyone in a Hammers shirt performing well, two players stood out. [Konstantinos Mavropanos](https://readwestham.com/2026/04/11/west-ham-konstantinos-mavropanos-wolves-win/) and [Valentin Castellanos](https://readwestham.com/2026/04/13/west-ham-valentin-castellanos-world-cup-dream/) both found the net for [West Ham](https://readwestham.com/), putting on star performances as the side moved out of the relegation zone.

## Castellanos and Mavropanos make BBC Team of the Week

Both players have had their performances recognized. Troy Deeney, who selects the [BBC’s Team of the Week](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/ce3dgd2575no) has placed both Hammers into his team that covers the Premier League last weekend.

On Mavropanos, Deeney said the Greek defender dominated in everything he did.

*“A huge performance when West Ham needed it. It was the biggest game of their season and Mavropanos had a dominating performance in defence while also producing two goals. He made some big tackles and big headers. It was a wonderful display.”*

Castellanos has been included up top, alongside fellow South American, Igor Thiago, who netted twice for Brentford.

On the Argentinian, Deeney said it was [the 27-year-old](https://readwestham.com/2026/04/13/west-ham-valentin-castellanos-can-be-teams-x-factor/)‘s biggest game in a Hammers shirt.

*“He had a very poor Serie A season but now he has found a home that fits. Both his goals were scrappy, but who cares? Two goals for a striker in a massive game – the biggest game of the season for West Ham.”*

Both players will be looking to continue their form as West Ham head across London to play [Crystal Palace](https://readcrystalpalace.com/) on Monday night. The Hammers will know a win at Selhurst Park could be huge for their survival efforts.
