Bournemouth staged a stunning late comeback to snatch a 2-2 draw against West Ham, with super-sub Enes Unal striking moments after coming off the bench to rescue a point.
Callum Wilson looked set to haunt his former club after firing West Ham into a 2-0 half-time lead, scoring twice inside 25 minutes.
But Marcus Tavernier’s second-half penalty pulled Bournemouth back into the contest before Unal completed the turnaround in the 70th minute.
The Turkish striker almost grabbed a sensational winner late on, only to be denied by a brilliant stop from Alphonse Areola.
West Ham took control early at a rain-drenched Vitality Stadium.
Wilson opened the scoring after just 12 minutes, chesting down a long pass from Areola before drilling a low strike beyond Djordje Petrovic.
He doubled the advantage soon after, spinning onto a knockdown from Jean-Clair Todibo and rifling a superb finish into the top corner - his fourth league goal of the campaign.
Bournemouth’s lifeline arrived when Maximilian Kilman handled inside the box.
Tavernier stepped up and smashed home the penalty to cut the deficit.
Areola kept the visitors in front with a sharp save from Eli Junior Kroupi, but Bournemouth’s pressure finally told when Unal latched onto a Marcos Senesi through-ball and curled home the equaliser just a minute after entering the pitch.
Bournemouth stay seventh on 19 points from 12 games, while West Ham move up to 17th — level with Leeds, who still have a game in hand.
Nuno Espírito Santo is still searching for consistency.
Despite Wilson’s explosive first-half performance, West Ham crumbled once he was substituted early in the second half.
The penalty swung momentum firmly Bournemouth’s way, and West Ham spent the final stages hanging on rather than pushing for a third straight win. Were it not for Areola, they might have left empty-handed.
Wilson’s scoring streak continues. Areola’s heroics keep pressure off the defence
But dropping two points from a commanding position will sting.
Missing key attackers including Antoine Semenyo and Justin Kluivert, the Cherries still showed spirit and bravery after back-to-back away losses.
Alex Scott and Ryan Christie both tested Areola, and Iraola’s substitutions - especially Unal - proved decisive.
Bournemouth remain unbeaten at home this season, with four wins and two draws, and will take confidence into next week’s fixtures.
