Fewer than 12 seconds of play had passed from Ryan Fraser opening the scoring for Bournemouth before Javier Hernandez hit back for West Ham.
A long ball found Marko Arnautovic, whose shot ricocheted off Simon Francis, and Hernandez was on hand to drive the equaliser past Asmir Begovic.
Quick-witted, instinctive, a true poacher’s effort and the kind of strike upon which the former Manchester United man built his reputation in this country.
Unfortunately for West Ham’s fans, it has been a rarely seen sight, with the £16m striker’s last goal coming way back in October.
