Moyes baffled by 'killer' Bournemouth equaliser

“The secret is work hard every day. That is the big secret of the big players like Harry, Ronaldo and Messi and company. You cannot afford not to work everyday.”

Kane might have been the game’s hot topic, but Dele Alli showed signs of rediscovering his best form, scoring one and creating two for Kane and another for Son Heung-Min.

“I’m happy he scored and helped the team, but we expect more and we will push him to be better,” added Pochettino.

Southampton scored consolations through Sofiane Boufal and Dusan Tadic.

By that point they had been blown away and are heading into a relegation fight after just one win in 11 games.

“It’s important to know how people react,” said Southampton manager Mauricio Pellegrino.

“You can realise how people really are. Which are the players who want to fight 100 per cent for the club. It will help me draw a lot of conclusions.” AFP LONDON: West Ham United manager David Moyes admitted he was mystified after referee Bobby Madley overruled his assistant and allowed a last-gasp equaliser by Bournemouth’s Callum Wilson to stand in Tuesday’s 3-3 draw on the south coast.

Wilson’s 93rd-minute effort was initially flagged for offside by linesman Simon Long but Madley, after a lengthy chat with his assistant, allowed the goal to stand despite the ball also appearing to have gone in via Wilson’s arm.

Moyes felt his side had been denied two valuable points that seemed certain after two late goals by Marko Arnautovic.

“When the linesman’s flag goes up you think ‘we’ve got out of jail there a bit’,” Moyes told reporters.

“But to overrule the linesman’s decision, I couldn’t believe. I think you could question the offside, because it looks pretty level.

“But what you can’t do is question that the Bournemouth player (Wilson) put it in with the top of his arm. When I saw the commotion I thought there was no way he would overturn it.

“I think he said the assistant referee only put his flag up to draw attention to it, and I’ve never heard of that ever.”

Goals from Dan Gosling and Nathan Ake had put Bournemouth ahead after James Collins had headed the visitors in front.

“We’re disappointed because we’re in the dying minutes and we’ve got ourselves 3-2 up,” Moyes said. “We’d fought back although we weren’t great throughout all of the game.

“We showed great spirit to get back in it and then to lose a goal like that is a killer.”

A point leaves West Ham hovering just a point above the relegation zone and, after an encouraging run of displays which brought victory over Chelsea and a draw with Arsenal, Moyes knows his team are still in the thick of a survival battle.

“We have to get back on the training ground and see if we can work on a lot of things,” he said. “We showed great spirit and great energy to stay in the game, but we’ve got to defend much better than we have done today.” Reuters
