West Ham 1-0 Bournemouth: Hammers get lucky to advance into third round

West Ham got lucky as they saw off fellow Premier League side Bournemouth to move into the third round of the Carabao Cup.

If VAR had been in use at this stage of the competition, the Hammers' winning goal would surely have been disallowed after Mohammed Kudus' shot bounced off the arm of Jarrod Bowen and into the net.

But West Ham will not be complaining and will just be relieved to have got through a tricky tie against an impressive Bournemouth.

The visitors were the better side for large periods. Marcus Tavernier hit the post with an inswinging free-kick.
