Evanilson at the double as Bournemouth draw at West Ham

Bournemouth striker Evanilson struck twice against West Ham United on Saturday to gain his side a point in a 2-2 draw at the London Stadium, cancelling out goals from Niclas Fuellkrug and Jarrod Bowen.

The draw lifted Bournemouth into ninth position in the league standings, although they remain winless in six games, denting their chances of qualifying for European football. West Ham climbed a spot to 15th, well clear of the relegation zone.

Bournemouth opened the scoring when West Ham goalkeeper Alphonse Areola spilt a shot in the 38th minute, allowing Evanilson to tap in from point-blank range.

Fuellkrug, making his second appearance since picking up an injury in mid-January, equalised in the 61st minute before West Ham captain Bowen put his side in the lead, requiring a 79th minute strike from Evanilson to rescue the draw.
