Unal's fabulous free-kick earns Bournemouth a point
The Guardian
|December 17, 2024
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.
Julen 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.
West Ham's players wore black armbands in tribute to their former academy goalkeeper Oscar Fairs who died aged 15 and on nine minutes the away support sang the name of their No 9 Michail Antonio, who miraculously survived a car crash earlier this month. They visited Antonio, who is expected to be sidelined for at least a year, in hospital in London over the weekend. It was a fine touch from the Bournemouth head coach, Andoni Iraola, despite being engrossed in a lively match, to join in the applause that rippled around the stadium.
