Late goals were the order of the day in another exciting afternoon of Premier League action.
Matt Ritchie was on hand to smash a half-volley in at the back post against former side Bournemouth as Newcastle snatched the latest of points. Javier Hernandez scored twice in the final embers as West Ham left bottom club Huddersfield contemplating another away defeat.
