O’Neil, a former West Ham player, undoubtedly expressed his displeasure with the first decision to the referees at halftime, as his Cherries team has now dropped to 14th position in the division after ending a six-game undefeated streak with back-to-back losses. The Cherries have the fewest goals of any team above the relegation zone with only 10 for the season after failing to score in both of their defeats against Southampton and West Ham.
Only four of Bournemouth’s 10 league goals this season have come from home, where they have lost four of their six games in the top tier without scoring, while Tottenham also struggled offensively in the midweek match.
Prediction
Kurt Zouma and Said Benrahma scored for West Ham on Monday night as Bournemouth lost 2-0. It was exactly what the Hammers deserved because Bournemouth put up a fairly lacklustre, unmemorable effort. Twenty shots were made at the Bournemouth goal by David Moyes’ team, whereas just five were made by the Cherries.
Gary O’Neil, the manager of the Cherries, was displeased with the game’s refereeing, and he may have had a point. In the moments before Thilo Kehrer’s handball set up Zouma’s goal, VAR was activated. After the VAR determined that Jordan Zemura had handled the ball, the second goal was scored from the penalty spot.
Prediction: Bournemouth 1-1 Tottenham Hotspur
