Change the brochures, scrap the strapline. Bournemouth has long been established as a relaxing seaside holiday destination but for Premier League teams it is becoming an increasingly uncomfortable, turbulent trip. Just ask Julen Lopetegui, whose West Ham side had to be chuffed at leaving with a point despite taking the lead via a contentious late penalty, awarded for handball and converted by Lucas Paquetá.
West Ham faced a barrage of shots, 29 in total, nine on target, but Bournemouth simply would not give in. It would have been a travesty had the hosts exited the pitch empty-handed and in the end an unstoppable free-kick from 25 yards by the substitute Enes Unal, two minutes after falling behind, earned Andoni Iraola’s side a point. It was the least they deserved.
