Bournemouth 1-1 West Ham: Premier League – as it happened | Premier League

That’s me done for the night. A brilliant end to a frustrating match. Both sides will feel like they could have won it, but ultimately one of the goals of the season earned Bournemouth a deserved draw. Until next time, bye!

This is what the result does to the table. Bournemouth are up to sixth!

There were 45 shots in that matchwith 29 coming from Bournemouth. That’s a record for the Cherries in the Premier League.

Bournemouth will feel like that it is two points dropped, despite coming back into the match, late, and in spectacular style.

90+8 min: Both keepers make good saves to smother potentially dangerous attacks. I would give the player of the match award to Fabianski, personally.

90+7 min: “I was drifting off to sleep on the sofa, and not even a nonsense VAR handball could get my blood running, but after Enes Ünal’s sublime rocket of a free kick I’m so hyped I worry I won’t sleep a wink tonight,” emails Kári Tulinius.

90+6 min: Bournemouth piling on the pressure. Billings finds Brooks with a diagonal, the Welshman bringing it down expertly before crossing to the back post, where Mavropanos is forced to head behind. Two further blocks from the corner and West Ham clear their lines.

90+4 min: The Vitality Stadium is rocking now, West Ham are clinging on. There is a slip at the back for West Ham, and Unal briefly threatens to race through on goal, but Kilman makes yet another great block.

90+2 min: Bournemouth now have nine goals after the 81st minute in the Premier League this season. That is the highest in the division, with Manchester City second with seven goals. Can the home side push for a winner?

90 min: Eight minutes added on! I think that was mainly for the VAR review but that is more than I was expecting.

Bournemouth win a free kick nearly 30 yards out and dead centre of the pitch. The wall is positioned one side, Fabianski the other and Unal, who has barely had a kick since coming on, bends one into the top corner! Wooooooooooow! One of the goals of the season! Bournemouth have a deserved goal, and they are back in it.

A big delay while the VAR makes his decision, and Bournemouth do their best to disrupt Paqueta as he prepares to take the penalty. The Brazilian steps up … goal! It was a stuttering run up, but Paqueta send Kepa the wrong way and West Ham lead!

83 min: Wan-Bissaka bursts forward and crosses for Fullkrug but his bullet header is straight at Kepa! A yard either side and that was surely a goal. Hang on, referee Chris Kavanagh is talking to the VAR, and they are looking at a potential handball! Adams may have got his arm on that cross from Wan-Bissaka! Oh, that’s very harsh. There’s a slight nick on the arm, and Adams was running at pace. But it was away from his body. Chris Kavanagh awards the penalty!

81 min: Billings is straight into the action, latching onto a neat cut back … blocked by Kilman. The ball rebounds to Billings, who rolls it back to Christie, and Fabianski makes a brilliant save from the Scot! Further blocks go in, and West Ham survive!

80 min: Bournemouth make two more changes, Unal and Billings for Evanilson and Kluivert.

79 min: Kluivert finds some room outside West Ham’s box and pings one two yards over the bar. That’s over 20 attempts on goal by Bournemouth, now.

77 min: Bournemouth are dominating possession but lacking quality in the final third. Kluivert bursts clear on the right, well found by Cook, but Soucek is there on the penalty spot to defend the cross.

74 min: West Ham make two changes: Teenager Ollie Scarles makes his Premier League debut (his only previous senior appearance was in the Conference League two years ago), coming on for the booked Alvarez. Summerville is on for Kudus, a like for like change.

71 min: Chance for West Ham! The visitors have rarely threatened this second half, apart from set plays, but Fullkrug digs out a nice pass to Kudus. The West Ham man takes it nicely in his stride, but a wonderful sliding tackle from Zabarnyi means Kudus is denied! Ooooooo, you fancied the Ghanaian on his left foot, there.

69 min: Brooks has shown a couple of nice touches since coming on.

67 min: Bournemouth make a double change and it’s surprising to see Semenyo come off for Brooks, is that a fitness issue? Semenyo walks straight down the tunnel, which means he’s either annoyed or injured.

American international Tyler Adams also comes off for Smith. Jesús Pérez, Pochettino’s assistant with USMNT, is watching on from the stands.

64 min: Zabarnyi is caught by Bowen while making an excellent sliding tackle but hauls himself up to the ground. Looks like Lopetegui has also been cautioned but I have to admit I’m not sure what for.

62 min: Yellow card for Alvarez, who drags Semenyo down on a Bournemouth counter-attack.

60 min: Looks like West Ham will alter their shape, with Bowen dropping back into midfield and Fullkrug leading the line as a target man. They definitely need something to change, Bournemouth have been well on top this second half.

58 min: West Ham are hanging on! They make a substitute, Fullkrug on for Soler, just before the corner but nearly concede at the back post as Zabarnyi outjumps the German substitute, nodding his header just wide.

56 min: Bournemouth go close! West Ham are woefully out of position and the Cherries break at pace, outnumbering the visitors four to three. Christie feeds Ouattara, who crosses for Semenyo at the back post … blocked superbly by Kilman! That was absolutely essential defending.

54 min: “Speaking of the world’s most lovable wheeler-dealer Harry Redknapp (apart from Arthur Daley, maybe… look it up, kids), might Lopetegui take a punt on Marcus Rashford?” emails Justin Kavanagh. “He’ll need to sign a forward in January, surely, given Antonio’s year-long projected absence. West Ham are a proper counter-attacking side, so Rashford would find a good home there”.

Think this is a non-starter because of the money involved. Rashford’s salary of £365,000 a week means only a few clubs could afford him, I don’t whether West Ham could pay even half of that. What’s more, West Ham spent well over £100m in the summer and surely won’t have enough dosh. Also, Fullkrug is on the bench, and can rotate with Bowen up front.

52 min: Kudus is yet to burst into life yet. He’s an elite player but has so far been subdued.

49 min: Fabianski has been a busy man in these opening moments of the second half, with both Semenyo and Christie stinging the palms of the West Ham goalkeeper.

47 min: Ouattara darts in from the left but Fabianski turns it around for a corner, from which Bournemouth try a snazzy short routine which ends with rather a lame shot from Cook, straight to Fabianski.

Peeeeeep! We’re underway again in Bournemouth. No changes from either side.

It’s all square at the break.
