Howe full of praise for hat-trick hero Wilson

A maiden top-flight victory for Bournemouth was secured in thrilling style as it downed West Ham 4-3, much to the delight of Eddie Howe.

Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe was full of praise for Callum Wilson after the striker's hat trick helped secure an historic 4-3 win for the south-coast club at West Ham.

The visitor's first Premier League victory was also its first over West Ham, and came off the back of two defeats at the hands of Aston Villa and Liverpool in which it failed to score.

Wilson punished two defensive lapses as Bournemouth led 2-0 at the break at Upton Park, but West Ham hit back with two goals in the space of four minutes at the start of the second half from Mark Noble and Cheikhou Kouyate.
