Michail Antonio feels no shame at recent West Ham defeat

The Yorkshire-born official gave two first-half penalties to the hosts – both of which were missed – and denied two penalty appeals from the visitors for marginal handball calls.

Randolph could do nothing to stop Bournemouth’s equaliser, though, as King neatly chipped the ball over Jose Fonte’s head with his right foot before drilling home with his left.

West Ham made the flawless start to the game by scoring just 48 seconds after King had side-footed a ninth-minute penalty wide of the right-hand post.

Joshua King scored a hat-trick and missed one of two penalties Bournemouth squandered as they edged a five-goal thriller 3-2 against West Ham United to move six points away from Premier League relegation danger on Saturday (March 11).

“In those circumstances the main emotion is relief”, said Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe, whose side are six points clear of the drop zone. And that is how they created the chances.

Lukaku now has 19 league goals this season, level at the top of the scoring charts with Tottenham Hotspur’s Harry Kane.

West Ham’s players protested that King was offside when the kick was taken, and that the ball had struck Afobe’s arm, but after a long chat with his assistant Madley signalled a goal.

“I’m feeling relieved that we got the win that we craved so much”, he told Sky Sports. “It was a tough, tough game”. However, within three second-half minutes that gave way to euphoria.

His family’s desire to return to France was also a factor, with the player adding: “When I am happy on the pitch, it’s because everything is going well off it”.

Josh King (Bournemouth) – Squandered a first-half penalty but more than made up for it with three instinctive finishes.

Bournemouth’s win followed a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford last time out, a game in which King did score a penalty, and the forward believes his side have turned a corner.

“There’s a lot of football to be played”.

“I said to myself that I wouldn’t have any room for improvement”.
