West Ham retreated from their European aspirations after Thursday’s draw (1-1) at home with Bournemouth, led by the Spaniards Andoni Iraolain a meeting where the David Moyes They were burdened by the big mistake that led to the visitors’ initial goal.
The midfielder could not have had a worse debut at the Hammers. Calvin Phillips, who arrived last Friday in the London team on loan from Manchester City having barely played four games this season.
Solanke takes advantage of the gift
On one of the first balls English international Kalvin Phillips got hold of, which was also not helped by a bad pass he received from the Frenchman. Kurt Zouma He failed when trying to pass the ball to his goalkeeper.
The Scotsman insists Ryan Christie The new West Ham player not only did not give the ball to the goalkeeper Alphonse Areola, but assisted Dominic Solanke, a gift the Bournemouth forward did not waste to make it 0-1 after three minutes of play.
A goal that left a West Ham team that, except for a header from Jared Bowen In thirty-nine minutes, he could hardly create clear-cut dangerous chances in the first half.
Areola keeps West Ham alive
In contrast to Bournemouth, who were able to extend their lead with two shots from the Ghanaian attacker. Antoine Semenyo, who encountered a sensational Areola, former Real Madrid goalkeeper, with two sensational interventions avoided further punishment for the Hammers.
That’s a panorama completely changed in the second half, where David Moyes’ men were more ambitious, coming off a run of five consecutive days – three wins and two draws – without defeat.
Reaction of the ‘hammers’
A change in attitude that soon transferred to a mark where James Ward-Prowse made it 1-1 in the 61st minute by converting a penalty Lloyd Kelly did to Ghanaian Mohammed Kudus which was pointed out by the referee after reviewing the video images.
Goal that seemed to be the beginning of a local comeback, but despite the remarkable improvement, David Moyes’ team, who had to wait for a new opportunity to surpass Harry Redknapp’s record of victories -239- as West Ham coach, cannot return to the mark.
A draw that left the Hammers sixth in the standings, seven points behind Espanyol’s Aston Villa Unai Emery, which is currently closing locations in Europe.
