Oh what fun it is to see West Ham win away!

Bournemouth 0 West Ham 4 (four)

For once it's an enjoyable experience listening to a West Ham away game on Radio London. It's a perfect start after five minutes when a loosely-marked Antonio heads home Cresswell's corner. It gets even better after 12 minutes when Coufal crosses and Paqueta heads home. What we didn't expect from the Brazilian was bullet headers and tough tackling, but that's what we are getting as he continues to adapt to the English league. 

Meanwhile the stat that Nigel has repeated all season about us being the only team never to have scored in the first 15 minutes has been well and truly busted. Bournemouth have a good spell where Lerma and Solanke test Fabianski, but the game is over just before half-time when another corner drops to Rice who smashes it home. Blimey. At half-time an Emergency beep sounds on my phone, presumably from Spurs who have let in five in 21 minutes at Newcastle. 

The second half sees West Ham containing the Cherries before Bowen crosses and Fornals scores with a brilliant scorpion-kick. He's in tears after scoring, presumably in shock at West Ham scoring four goals away from home. "Are you Tottenham in disguise?" ask the Irons fans, followed by a request to Declan for "one more year",  Another sub Maxwel Cornet scores a fifth 'goal' only to be correctly ruled offside.

The side have taken a lot of confidence from the draw against Arsenal and the win against Gent and this is quite an achievement after Thursday's exertions with mainly the same players - and against a Bournemouth side that was going well under Gary O'Neil. From 0-4 at Brighton to 4-0 at Bournemouth. This sees us almost out of the relegation dogfight and another win should see us completely safe. Irons!
