Sports Mole rates the players who took part in the Premier League game between West Ham United and Bournemouth, which finished 4-3 to the Cherries.

A Callum Wilson hat-trick has given Bournemouth a 4-3 win away at West Ham United in their Premier League clash at Upton Park.

The England Under-21 striker scored twice in the first half with first-time finishes, with left-back Aaron Cresswell at fault for both.

Mark Noble then scored a penalty for the Hammers and Cheikhou Kouyate powered home a rebounded effort to pull his side level early in the second half.

The Cherries, however, scored another two goals through Marc Pugh and a Wilson penalty that saw Carl Jenkinson sent off, but Modibo Maiga's strike eight minutes from time ensured a tense finale at the Boleyn Ground.

Sports Mole rates each of the players who took to the pitch to see who shone and who slumped for their respective sides.


West Ham

Goal

Darren Randolph: Nearly kept out the winning penalty, and wasn't responsible for the goals his defence shipped. Pulled off a number of decent saves to keep the score down. (6/10)

Defence

Winston Reid: Saw an early goal disallowed, and couldn't handle Wilson very well, though not as bad as his positional teammates. (5/10)

Carl Jenkinson: Made a number of sloppy mistakes, gave Pugh too much space and was beaten easily ahead of the game's third goal, and was sent off for a penalty-gifting tackle in the box which gave the opposition the win. Dreadful performance. (3/10)

Angelo Ogbonna: Not particularly impressive but the effort was there, though he had to be sacrificed early on for Tomkins. (5/10)

Aaron Cresswell: His two mistakes in the first half left West Ham with a mountain to climb, though they nearly did until falling at the last. Had an overall poor game. (3/10)

Midfield

Cheikhou Kouyate: Good determination to get onto Sakho's rebound allowed him to level the score shortly after the restart, and effective from set pieces. (6/10)

Pedro Obiang: Inconsistent when it came to providing defensive cover, but had his work cut out with the lacklustre formation behind him. (5/10)

Kevin Nolan: Withdrawn at the break after an ineffectual first half which saw him offer little in attack. (5/10)

Mark Noble: Did well to win a penalty in the box from King's foul and clinically converted from the spot to kickstart his side's impressive but ultimately futile comeback. (7/10)

Attack

Diafra Sakho: Lively up front and tested Boruc with his turn-and-strike that led to Kouyate's goal. (7/10)

Dimitri Payet: Creative and so accurate from set pieces, though his influence faded as the game went on. (7/10)

Substitutes

James Tomkins: Made a great deal of difference at the back, tightening things up and making the Hammers defence a bit sturdier from general play. (7/10)

Matt Jarvis: Provided pace down the flank but not much in the way of creativity and flair. (5/10)

Modibo Maiga: Almost a masterstroke from Slaven Bilic to bring him on 20 minutes from the end as he brought the Hammers back to within one goal with a great finish and worked incredibly hard until the final whistle. (7/10)


Bournemouth

Goal

Artur Boruc: Unconvincing on the whole in between the sticks as his poor punch allowed Noble to win a penalty, before committing too early on Maiga's break. (5/10)

Defence

Steve Cook: Gave too much space away in the lead up to the second West Ham goal and failed to impose himself in the defence. (5/10)

Tommy Elphick: Did just enough to thwart an impressive Sakho and proved a handful in the air. (6/10)

Charlie Daniels: Strong and steady, managed to keep everything to the outside and was comfortable in defence against an erratic opposition front line. (6/10)

Simon Francis: Defensively sound and dangerous in attack, crossing for Wilson to score Bournemouth's first goal. (7/10)

Midfield

Andrew Surman: Passed the ball very well in midfield and knew exactly what time of pass to play and when. (7/10)

Matt Ritchie: A real midfield engine, he stormed up and down the flank helping out at both ends. (7/10)

Eunan O'Kane: Provided good cover to his defenders and marked Payet out quite well. (7/10)

Joshua King: Confident in possession and dangerous in the final third, but was guilty of giving away a needless penalty shortly after the restart. (6/10)

Attack

Callum Wilson: Simply devastating up front, running riot in the final third and making the most of the opposition's defensive blunders to etch his name in Bournemouth folklore with a first-ever Premier League goal, hat-trick, and win. (10/10)

Max Gradel: Unstoppable on the wing, giving Jenkinson an incredibly hard time which saw him eventually crumble. Set up Pugh for the third goal and won a penalty off his rival for the day. (9/10)

Substitutes

Adam Smith: Came on too late to make an impact. (6/10)

Dan Gosling: Came on too late to make an impact. (6/10)

Marc Pugh: A devastating substitution, he struck at a time when Bournemouth appeared in danger of crumbling to re-establish a lead which would not be relinquished. (8/10)
