🦁 Crazy free-kick ensures Bournemouth split points with West Ham | OneFootball

Monday's Premier League action saw late drama ensure Bournemouth and West Ham split the points in a 1-1 draw.

Scorers: Ünal 90'; Paquetá 87' (P)

Despite a thrilling end to this match, it was initially all about the goalkeepers in the early moments at Vitality Stadium.

Mohammed Kudus led the way for the visitors and often teed up Jarrod Bowen, but the Englishman hit the woodwork, leaving Kepa Arrizabalaga sweating. The goalkeeper also denied Bowen beforehand on a rebound.

Then, at the other end, Dango Ouattara was free at the back post and called Łukasz Fabiański into a diving save with his leg. The Poland goalkeeper was later called into action in the second half to push Ryan Christie's thunderstrike over the bar.

Some accompanying misplaced efforts and last-ditch defending kept the scoreline deadlock as the match neared the hour mark. Kepa again was alert to deny Niclas Füllkrug in the air while Fabiański ensured West Ham were frustrated, especially a very lively Christie.

Then, one mistake turned up the heat. VAR determined substitute Tyler Adams committed a handball in the box, and Lucas Paquetá sent Kepa the wrong way for 1-0. But the lead didn't last for long.

With the stage set and Bournemouth a goal down at the death, substitute Enes Ünal stepped up and blasted home a free-kick into the left corner, leaving Fabiański no chance.

The result means the Cherries sit sixth in the table while West Ham are 14th.
