Bournemouth and West Ham United's match on Sunday evening was a thrilling encounter that saw the promoted side continue their impressive form against one of the top teams in the Premier League.
The game started with both sides looking to establish themselves early on, with Bournemouth creating some good chances but failing to convert them into goals. However, West Ham United were more clinical in front of goal, with Michail Antonio scoring his first goal for the club after just three minutes.
Despite being behind, Bournemouth fought back strongly and created several chances in the second half. But it was West Ham who broke the deadlock in the 75th minute when Marko Arnautovic scored from close range.
However, Bournemouth refused to give up and fought hard to get back into the game. They were rewarded with a penalty in the 86th minute when Jordan O'Neil handled the ball inside the box. The spot-kick was converted by Ryan Fraser, who had come on as a substitute earlier in the match.
The goal gave Bournemouth a much-needed boost and they continued to press forward, with Fraser hitting the crossbar late on before the final whistle.
It was a tough loss for West Ham, who will be disappointed not to have taken all three points. But it was a reminder of the strength of Bournemouth, who have now won four of their last five games and look set to push for promotion this season.
Overall, it was a closely contested match that saw both sides create plenty of opportunities, but it was Bournemouth who emerged victorious thanks to a determined performance from their players. It was another strong display from the promoted side, who are showing no signs of slowing down as they aim to make a successful jump from the Championship to the Premier League.
