West Ham 1-0 Bournemouth: More handball controversy costs Cherries

For the second match in a row Bournemouth were on the receiving end of a poor decision that cost them.

At the weekend, Dango Ouattara was denied a late winning goal for the Cherries in their 1-1 draw with Newcastle with a Video Assistant Referee decision ruling out the goal after the ball bounced off his shoulder.

This time, at the London Stadium, Bournemouth were hard done by because of the lack of VAR. Jarrod Bowen, who may also have been standing in an offside position, deflected in Mohammed Kudus' strike with the ball appearing to bounce off the England man's arm and past Neto.

But with no VAR in this phase of the Carabao Cup, that eliminated the Cherries, who had been the better side for large parts of the match.

The best chances had fallen to the visitors, with Marcus Tavernier hitting the post with an inswinging free-kick. He also forced a good save from Lukasz Fabianski, who also did well to keep out Ouattara's clever flick when the ball was behind him.

But Bowen's controversial winner proved the difference.
