The honours were shared at the London Stadium as the Hammers missed the chance to climb into the top-half of the Premier League table.

However, when the Hammers fell behind, courtesy of a goal from Ryan Fraser, it looked as if another home defeat was coming our way.

Although West Ham dominated the early stages of the game it was the same old story of failing to make that dominance count. Chances that fell to Arnautovic and Obang weren`t converted with the former being foiled by a great save by Begovic and the latter shooting wide.

Bournemouth punished the Hammers for a lack of ruthless finishing when, with seventy-one minutes played, they took the lead through the aforementioned effort from Fraser.

Thankfully, the Hammers responded quickly and, just two minutes later, they were back on level terms when Javier Hernandez was the quickest to react when an effort from Marko Arnautovic was blocked.

But, Bournemouth, having scored from their only shot on target, almost snatched the lead back three minutes after the equaliser. The chance fell to the former Hammer, Junior Stanislas, but his effort produced a fine save from Adrian in the West Ham goal.

West Ham remain in 11th place in the table and their next fixture sees them travel to take on Wigan, in an FA Cup 4th round tie.
