Bournemouth 0-2 West Ham: Fullkrug, Bowen punish Evanilson miss

West Ham ended their Premier League Summer Series campaign on a high with a 2-0 win over Bournemouth at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.

Goals from Niclas Fullkrug and Jarrod Bowen saw the Hammers follow up their 2-1 victory over Everton.

Though Andoni Iraola’s Cherries dominated large swathes of the opening exchanges, they failed to make their early pressure count. Evanilson squandered a golden opportunity, hitting the post when it was easier to score from a sublime Marcus Tavernier cross.

West Ham drew first blood in the 24th minute through Fullkrug, who was teed up from close range by Bowen, who himself rolled one in past Bournemouth goalkeeper Neto in the 67th minute.

The result sees West Ham join Manchester United, who go up against Everton later on Sunday, in having won two of their Summer Series matches.

Graham Potter’s team face Lille in their final pre-season outing, before they open their Premier League campaign at Sunderland on August 16, a day after Bournemouth visit Liverpool.

A win to end the @premierleague Summer Series!
