Wolves were cruelly dumped out of the FA Cup by Nikica Jelavic's late goal in a 1-0 defeat against West Ham.
Nikica Jelavic's late goal earned West Ham a place in the fourth round of the FA Cup as it beat a dogged Wolves side 1-0 at Upton Park.
The Premier League outfit was matched by its Championship opponents until the final 10 minutes of a tightly fought contest, but Jelavic's sweetly struck volley clinched a victory the Hammers barely deserved.
Having beaten Liverpool and Southampton in its last two home fixtures, West Ham was the favorite to advance to the fourth round, but the fluency and dynamism of its recent performances was missing, despite manager Slaven Bilic citing the competition as a priority for his side before the game.
