Soccer fans were in for a very interesting Premier League match when Bournemouth hosted West Ham at the Vitality Stadium. Although the home side started the game confidently, West Ham soon picked themselves up and scored some impressive goals. The first goal of the match came in the fifth minute when West Ham player M. Antonio managed to slip past the Bournemouth defense and score. The second goal of the match came seven minutes later, this time thanks to L. Paquette, who showed impressive ball control before sending the ball into the net. After those first two goals, Bournemouth began to look shaky, and things only got worse when D. Rice scored West Ham's third goal of the match in the 43rd minute. To try and reverse the situation, at the beginning of the second half, Bournemouth released J. Rothwell instead of K. Moore. However, the situation did not look promising for the home team, and soon K. Moore was given a yellow card. A few minutes later, West Ham player N. Aguerda was also given a yellow card.
Bournemouth tried to make new changes in the 61st minute, releasing A. Smith, R. Christie and L. Kelly instead of J. Anthony, D. Ouattara and M. Vina respectively. However, this was not enough to stop West Ham, who continued to dominate the field. Moreover, in the 72nd minute, West Ham managed to score another goal, this time thanks to P. Fornals. Bournemouth continued to make changes over the course of the match: in the 75th minute J. Lerma came on instead of L. Cook. West Ham also made several substitutions, releasing J. Bowen instead of M. Corne in the 76th minute, L. Paquette instead of F. Downs in the 77th minute and W. Koufal instead of T. Kerer in the 83rd minute. Although West Ham dominated throughout the match, they almost scored a fifth goal in the 90th minute, but it was not counted due to an offside by M. Cornet. As a result, the match ended with a score of 0:4 in favor of West Ham. The fans of both teams will undoubtedly analyze the match in detail, trying to understand what could have been done differently. For now, West Ham can enjoy a convincing win, while Bournemouth need to regroup and start planning their next moves.
