Joshua King scored a hat-trick as Bournemouth beat West Ham United 3-2.
Joshua King had a moment to forget and a day to remember as Bournemouth came out 3-2 winners over West Ham United on Saturday.
The forward missed from the penalty spot just 48 seconds before Michail Antonio went up the other end to put the visitors ahead.
Bournemouth had a second opportunity from the spot later on in the game but this time Benik Afobe’s effort was thwarted by Hammers ‘keeper Darren Randolph.
It was King who finally got the Cherries on the score sheet, as he volleyed home the equaliser to send the teams in level at half time. The Norwegian then doubled his tally for the day to put the hosts ahead shortly after the break.
Andre Ayew looked to have secured a point for West Ham with ten minutes to spare until King bagged his hat-trick with a 90th-minute strike.
The win sees Bournemouth move six points clear of the drop zone and just three points off Slaven Bilic’s 11th-placed side.
Meanwhile, King’s goals take him into double figures for the season.
