Hammers see off Bournemouth in home victory
West Ham United's Said Benrahma scores their side's second goal of the game from a penalty during the Premier League match at the London Stadium, London. Picture date: Monday October 24, 2022.

WEST HAM made hard work of securing Monday night’s home victory over Bournemouth at the London Stadium. 

Lacking the subtle touches of injured midfielder Luis Paqueta, West Ham spent too much time going back and across, rather than forward.

The inventive touches on the night came from Said Benrahma, aided by striker Gianluca Scamacca.
