West Ham 'progressing' despite home draw against Bournemouth

WEST HAM lived to regret their failure to turn first-half dominance into goals, with Bournemouth finishing the stronger in this keenly contested game on Saturday.

West Ham boss David Moyes was happy though to get away with a point from this closely fought encounter. He felt the 120 minutes that some of the players had put in earlier in the week during the FA Cup replay with Shrewsbury had taken its toll.

“In the first half we passed it well and merited a goal,” said Moyes, who is pleased that “things are progressing and going in the right direction.”
