West Ham kicked off the new league season with an impressive 2-0 win at Arsenal, where Song spent seven years before joining Barcelona.

West Ham did manage to reduce the arrears through Modibo Maiga, but it did not prove enough to deny Bournemouth their historic triumph. Their first idea is always to pass the ball.
Bilic’s side had a great start to their Premier League season having managed to beat last year’s FA Cup winners Arsenal in their opening day fixture. West Ham appealed to have Adrian’s red card against Leicester rescinded but were turned down by the match review panel, and so will nearly certainly start Randolph in his place.
Despite surrendering their commanding lead, Bournemouth remained unsafe every time they pushed forward and regained the advantage when Pugh scored after another impressive attacking move. While Cresswell struggled to contain Matt Ritchie on the left, Carl Jenkinson was tormented throughout by Max Gradel on the opposite flank and was sent off for pulling the winger back and conceding the penalty that allowed Wilson to complete his hat-trick in the 79th minute. We are trying very hard because we are short in that position. Yes, I think so.
One of the players they signed was a winger by the name of Harry Redknapp, who was in later years to become our manager and keep the West Ham connection.
After watching the Liverpool game will go with Matt Ritchie, he looked the only player who might have got us a goal after Tommy Elphick’s header was ruled out.
“We’ve been doing some testing and in one of those sprints he felt his hamstring”, Bilic said of Zarate. We have our standards.
Meanwhile, Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe will be keen for his Cherries side to register their first points of the campaign after narrowly losing their opening two Premier League matches – with the club’s 1-0 loss to Liverpool on Monday, in particular, coming about in controversial fashion.
Jermaine Defoe secured Sunderland’s first point of the season with the equaliser in a 1-1 draw at home to Swansea City after Bafetimbi Gomis netted his third league goal in as many matches this season on the stroke of halftime.

Additionally, it also gives them a more experienced defensive midfielder than youngster Reece Oxford, who, despite his impressive displays so far and obvious bright future, is not an ideal solution for the role long term.
