West Ham United squandered multiple scoring opportunities in a frustrating 0-0 stalemate against Bournemouth at the London Stadium on Saturday. The Hammers dominated possession and created 20 shots with an expected goals (xG) total of 2.87, the highest for any team failing to score in a Premier League match this season. Despite their dominance, West Ham couldn't break through goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic's resistance.

Crysencio Summerville emerged as West Ham's brightest attacking threat, troubling Bournemouth with his pace and unpredictability throughout the match. His deflected shot late in the game narrowly missed, landing on the roof of the net. Taty Castellanos also went close with a powerful overhead kick, while substitute Callum Wilson saw a late toe-poked effort saved by Petrovic. Bournemouth's best chance came from Rayan's driving run from inside his own half, with his shot clipping the outside of the post.

West Ham captain Jarrod Bowen acknowledged the missed opportunity, stating his team had the chances to win. The draw leaves the Hammers two points from safety and four behind Tottenham ahead of their north London derby. Bournemouth, now unbeaten in seven league games, climbed to eighth place. With Nottingham Forest facing Liverpool on Sunday, West Ham's margin for error continues to shrink in their relegation battle.
