It's goalless at the break in the Premier League clash between Bournemouth and West Ham on the opening day of the season. The Hammers have come inches away from breaking the deadlock on two occasions. Tomas Soucek was unlucky to see his effort rattle the inside of the post before Philip Billing was in the right place at the right time to clear Lucas Paqueta's header off the line. At the other end, the Cherries have been restricted to one effort from David Brooks that was well saved by Alphonse Areola.
