Unal comes off the bench to snatch late point as Bournemouth draw at West Ham
Enes Unal came off the bench to snatch a late point for Bournemouth.
The Turkish forward was making his second substitute appearance after recovering from a second ACL injury.
He struck nine minutes from time to deny West Ham a first away win under Nuno Espirito Santo.
Everyone is so happy and so pleased when these things happen, Iraola said.
Ten months fighting almost alone, with the physios, Iraola added.
Callum Wilson had marked his return to his former club with two first-half goals.
But when he went off West Ham’s momentum went with him.
Marcus Tavernier pulled one back from the penalty spot before Unal struck.
The 28-year-old was visibly emotional as he celebrated.
It was the spark Bournemouth needed after a spell of growing pressure.
TLDR
- Unal’s late substitute strike earned Bournemouth a draw at West Ham.
- Wilson’s two goals gave West Ham an early lead, then Tavernier and Unal changed the result.
- Iraola praised his squad’s resilience amid injury setbacks.
