Howe proud as Bournemouth up to third on table

Bournemouth are up to third on the table with victory over West Ham.

The Irons, thrashed 4-0 at Liverpool in their opening match, went ahead after 33 minutes through a Marko Arnautovic penalty.

Bournemouth, who beat Cardiff last weekend, were level on the hour through a fine individual effort from forward Callum Wilson and the turnaround was completed six minutes later when defender Steve Cook headed in at the back post following a free-kick.

Cherries boss Eddie Howe said afterwards: "I'm very pleased with the second-half performance.

"We finished the first-half strongly and created a number of chances which we didn't take and that left the game in the balance.

"West Ham did well in the first half and made it difficult for us, we conceded and it's a long way back from there, especially with the chances we created before that.

"But I'm really pleased with the team, we managed the game very well and it was a great win, we've never won here before so it's a good moment for the club."
