Marko Arnautovic helped secure a late 3-3 draw for West Ham against Premier League relegation rivals Bournemouth at Vitality Stadium on Boxing Day.

James Collins put David Moyes' Hammers ahead on the south coast, but Dan Gosling levelled before half-time before setting up former Chelsea defender Nathan Ake to put the Cherries ahead.

Bournemouth were the better side for much of the game, but goalkeeper Asmir Begovic slipped on a routine clearance to allow Arnautovic a simple leveller nine minutes from time.

Arnautovic thought he had won the game with another goal a minute from time, but Bournemouth netted a controversial late goal with Callum Wilson's effort sparking a debate between officials before they (incorrectly) allowed the effort despite an offside in the build-up.
