Unal’s late strike earns Bournemouth a point against West Ham amid injury comeback
Enes Unal rescued a point for Bournemouth moments after coming off the bench.
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.
Nevertheless, Iraola said everyone is happy when moments like this arrive after ten months fighting alone with the physios.
Meanwhile, Callum Wilson marked his return to his former club with two first-half goals.
But when Wilson went off, West Ham gained momentum.
Marcus Tavernier converted a late penalty to reduce the arrears.
Unal struck, and his celebration was emotional.
The point keeps Bournemouth on track, but the project behind the scenes still feels unfinished.
This was a Premier League clash on the south coast.
TLDR
- Enes Unal’s late goal earns Bournemouth a draw after coming off the bench.
- Wilson’s two first-half goals had Bournemouth ahead before Unal’s intervention.
- The result stretches West Ham’s away win drought and keeps Bournemouth rebuilding momentum.
