Bournemouth vs West Ham LIVE: Premier League goals, score and latest updates

Follow live coverage as AFC Bournemouth face West Ham United in the Premier League today.

Just two points and one place in the table separate the clubs ahead of kick-off, with the hosts having won their last two to move into 14th place. Another victory here and the Cherries will really start to feel as though they’ve done the hard work, with survival surely close at that point.

The Hammers have more to do, sat currently on 31 points, but victory here will see them leapfrog Bournemouth and put more daylight between themselves and the bottom three following just one defeat in their last five matches. Even so, pressure remains on David Moyes after a disappointing season.

We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

Lucas Paqueta was everywhere for West Ham in the first half, scoring the second goal with a strong header and completing three final third entries. He's had the most touches, attempted and accurate passes so far for the Hammers, creating a chance with one of his 12 in the final third and also contesting a team-high eight duels. He's been successful in six of these, including a dribble and aerial duel apiece, winning possession with three tackles and an interception. Buzzing.

AFC Bournemouth vs West Ham United

14:57

A free-flowing first 45 minutes come to an end, and it's been a perfect start from West Ham at the Vitality. Antonio's bullet header opened the scoring inside five minutes, and Paqueta doubled the lead with a powerful headed effort of his own just seven minutes later. Bournemouth then were able to settle into the game, albeit without creating many clear-cut chances, and were caught on the break for West Ham to score from another corner just before half-time, with Rice lashing the ball goalwards from Soucek's flick. Bournemouth have had plenty of the ball, but West Ham's ability to keep their defensive shape, and them having the midas touch in front of goal, has limited their ability to make much of an impact so far.

SAVED!!! So very nearly a third for the visitors! A poor pass from Kelly is seized upon by Bowen, who cuts onto his left foot and drills a low shot towards the far corner. However, a deflection off Mepham skews the ball into Antonio's path, and Neto charges out to snatch the ball before the Jamaican international can make it three!

Christie's corner is headed clear and Benrahma sets off on the break for West Ham. Antonio charges through the middle and is clean through on goal if found with the ball, but Smith's strong defensive header cuts out Benrahma's cross-field pass and gives Bournemouth's defence time to recover.

Soucek's overhit cross is kept in play by Benrahma, and Paqueta then returns serve from the left-hand side. Soucek meets the ball at the far post, but can't generate anywhere near enough power on his header to trouble Neto!

14:24

CHANCE!! A good Billing cross is put behind, winning Bournemouth a corner. Rothwell's delivery is met by Mepham, who can't connect properly with his header and Fabianski dives on the loose ball!

AFC Bournemouth vs West Ham United

14:23

A series of flicks between Soucek and Bowen sends Antonio racing through on goal, but Kelly covers well and prods the ball back to Neto, who duly clears Bournemouth's lines.

AFC Bournemouth vs West Ham United

14:21

Coufal and Paqueta do well to keep possession down the right, and the latter tees up Bowen to cross into the area. The winger follows suit and finds Benrahma, but he can't keep his header down and the ball loops over the bar!
