James Ward-Prowse’s second-half penalty spared Kalvin Phillips’ blushes and rescued a Premier League point for West Ham against Bournemouth at London Stadium.
New Hammers signing Phillips had a debut to forget when he passed the ball straight to Dominic Solanke who put Bournemouth in front inside three minutes.
But West Ham were gifted a way back into the game in the 61st minute when Lloyd Kelly caught Mohammed Kudus in the penalty area and Ward-Prowse fired his spot-kick straight down the middle.
Neither side were able to find a winner on a cold night in the capital.
The Hammers, without a win in their past four games, stay sixth in the Premier League table, while Bournemouth move 12th, eight points clear of the relegation zone.
