AFC Bournemouth came from behind to hold West Ham United to a 1-1 draw in a Premier League game staged on Monday night.
Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola was left complaining despite Cherries substitute Enes Unal curling home a brilliant last-minute free-kick to deny West Ham victory in a dramatic Premier League meeting.

Iraola said he knew the Turkey forward would go close when presented with the opportunity from 30 yards because of the amount of practice he puts in. What irritated Iraola was that Bournemouth needed an amazing ninth Premier League goal of the campaign scored after 85 minutes to get their point.
He was furious at the penalty Lucas Paqueta converted five minutes from time, which seemed set to give the Hammers a 10th victory in 11 Monday night league games. Video assistant referee (VAR) Michael Salisbury told referee Chris Kavanagh to go to the screen after Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s cross flicked off Tyler Adams’ outstretched hand.
A point was the least Bournemouth deserved after they peppered the West Ham goal with 29 shots, only to be denied on five separate occasions by visiting keeper Lukasz Fabianski.
It was enough for the home side to climb above Aston Villa into the top six. West Ham remain in 14th, having avoided defeat for two league games in a row for only the third time this season.
