Lucas Paquetá scored from the penalty spot after VAR noticed a handball but Enes Unal countered with a 30-yard free-kick to make it 1-1 between Bournemouth and West Ham
Bournemouth simply do not know when they are beaten. The substitute Enes Unal powered an unstoppable free-kick into the top corner, seconds after West Ham snatched an unlikely lead courtesy of a contentious penalty. Anothersubstitute, Tyler Adams, was penalised for handling Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s cross from the right and Lucas Paquetá converted the subsequent spot-kick, awarded following a VAR review.
From the moment Ryan Christie clipped Mohammed Kudus inside 13 seconds, this was a frenetic occasion. Milos Kerkez won Bournemouth an early corner at the end of one his trademark marauding runs from full-back. Bournemouth had the first chance of note, Antoine Semenyo sending a bouncing ball against a post on 12 minutes. The move stemmed from a Kepa Arrizabalaga ball downfield.
Lopetegui arched his back after Carlos Soler, after checking on to his right foot to elude the Bournemouth captain Adam Smith, dropped a shot just wide of the far post. Soucek then sent an effort wide under pressure from Ouattara after Dean Huijsen and Kerkez failed to clear.
