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.

"Everyone knows he can do that," said Iraola. "He trains a lot. It was far out but we knew if it wasn't a goal it would be close."

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.

"We spoke with the referees before the start of the season," said Iraola. "They gave an instruction for us not to tell players to defend with arms behind their back because it is not natural.

"I said, 'Are you sure, because I don't want it to cost us?'. They told us it wouldn't. First one, penalty. It was natural. Anyone who has played football knows when you run to block [the ball], you finish with one hand up and one hand down.

"Sometimes referees make mistakes and it goes against you. You have to deal with that. This one, they explained and spent five minutes discussing it. The first time it happens, it is a penalty. Now I don't know what they will tell us next summer."

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.

The point for West Ham should give Julen Lopetegui a bit more breathing space, following on from last week's victory over Wolves, although he will feel his side should have held on for the win having taken the lead so late.

Yet Iraola also has cause to grumble.

Bournemouth are an excellent team but struggle to turn their superiority into goals.

Even in victory over Tottenham in their previous home game, the feeling was the margin of the win should have been greater than a single goal.

On this occasion, 29 shots still weren't enough for all three points.

Although they hit the post early through Antoine Semenyo, it was the end of the opening period when Bournemouth should have capitalised, only for Fabianski to deny Dango Ouattara at the far post.

Fabianski getting in the way became a recurring theme for Bournemouth in the second half.

Justin Kluivert, Semenyo, Ryan Christie and Evanilson were all denied by the veteran former Poland international.

Arguably, his best effort was his last as Philip Billing, then Christie forced him into excellent reaction saves.

Diving around, Fabianski must have felt every one of his 39 years, although with a performance like that he has plenty of life in him yet.

Michail Antonio's absence was marked by the West Ham fans chanting his name in the ninth minute. Bournemouth's supporters responded by applauding for the full 60 seconds.

The reality is Antonio and his number nine shirt are almost certain not to be seen on the pitch for the rest of the season given the injuries he sustained in that horrific car crash just over a week ago.

That means there is even more focus on Jarrod Bowen to deliver the goals to get West Ham out of trouble.

The England man has come a long way since scoring his first league goal for local club Hereford as a 17-year-old in what is now the National League.

Eight games at that level were enough to persuade Hull to sign Bowen, whose winner against Wolves a week ago means he has now added 99 goals in the Championship and Premier League to that initial effort against Alfreton.

Playing centrally, it was no surprise Bowen should come closest to opening the scoring for the visitors.

After running on to Mohammed Kudus' through ball, with no immediate support to help out, Bowen showed real intelligence, allowing Illia Zabarnyi and Dean Huijsen to sprint past, creating the space from where his curling shot flicked off the top of the crossbar.

Wan-Bissaka's cross provided the opportunity to spin and unleash a shot Kepa provided the equal of, the former Chelsea keeper collecting at the second attempt.

It was something of a surprise Bowen did not take the penalty when it eventually came West Ham's way.

In fairness, Paqueta's finish was nerveless. The Brazilian thought he had won it. He was wrong.
