Bournemouth coach Anthony Iraola was disappointed that Ines Unal equalized from the penalty spot in the 90th minute after his side only drew with West Ham.

Lucas Paqueta gave West Ham the lead with a free-kick three minutes before the end of the match and Unal equalized with a superb free-kick to claim a share of the points.

The Cherries have had an impressive 29 shots on goal, their most in the Premier League just once - but they have struggled to finish in open play.

"Even though we scored at the end, I don't think it was a good result for us," Iraola said.

We were better in the second half. I didn't like the first half. We were pushing to win and then a penalty happened and we had to take the point. I don't think it's a good point for us.

"I thought the punishment was harsh."

“The game was very slow for us in the first half. We didn't have the courage to put them under real pressure. We improved in the second half but it wasn't enough to win.

West Ham United coach Julen Lopetegui praised his team's resilience.

Spaniard Lopetegui is under pressure after West Ham's indifferent start to the season but is delighted with his players' attitude.

“I think it's sad. We were thinking we would win in a difficult stadium," Lopetegui told Sky Sports.

“It was very close. We were better in the first half, they were a step ahead in the second half. We suffered a bit but we overcame this to get a goal.

“It was an incredible goal from Unal. They put a lot of pressure after scoring. We behaved well in the last moments. We competed very well.

"More than the main point is the behavior of the players. It was great,” he added.

The points difference leaves West Ham seven points clear of the relegation zone. Sixth-placed Bournemouth have no worries, having collected more points (25) than in any other Premier League campaign this season.
