Hello
To inspire means to motivate someone else to improve their performance so here in this example Raul Jimenez helped Wolves to win at St Mary's (Southampton's ground).
In the second example the verb to prod home means to score from close range. Prod suggests that the ball was pushed into the net.
Hope that helps
