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. Another Bournemouth substitute, 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.
Lopetegui insisted the uplift from a welcome victory at home to Wolves had been forgotten as West Ham targeted back-to-back league wins for the first time this season. The West Ham manager made two changes, one enforced with Emerson suspended, so Wan-Bissaka shifted to left-back and Vladimir Coufal came into the starting lineup at right-back. Lucas Paquetá, who has struggled for form, was a surprise inclusion in place of Crysencio Summerville.
