What were the highlights of West Ham's victory over Bournemouth?

Mikel Antonio 0:05
Toure taking on Smith.
Alan Smith 0:10
And it's in and it's Antonio who was at the far post to create an indelible moment in West Ham history. Their first league goal at their new stadium. Worth the wait for the Hammers fans who came here with their numbers today. 57,000 new record crowd watching West Ham at home in a league game.

How did the crowd react to West Ham's first league goal at the new stadium?

Alan Smith 0:28
One goal was the difference, one red card as well. You can see at the top for Bournemouth's Harry Arter. Bournemouth had nine attempts to West Ham's 15. Eight of those from Bournemouth actually coming in the second half, including all five. on target both teams worked hard as well covered a lot of ground today Bournemouth having slightly more of the possession nothing between them in terms of passing accuracy really and passes but West Ham having many more percentage of their passes in the opposition half Antonio the match winner is captain absolutely delighted with him as you can see and let's hear from both with Jeff Shrieks
Jeff Shreeves 1:05
Mikel and Mark, first of all, as housewarming parties go, it took a while to get going, but the most important thing ended on a high.
Mikel Antonio 1:13
Look, listen, the week we've had, Monday night away to Chelsea, disappointing result at the end, you know, and then all the way to Romania on Thursday, or Wednesday, travel back Thursday, get back five in the morning and to come and win at home, it's a great feeling, great feeling.
Alan Smith 1:28
Was it all about today, getting that win, doesn't matter how it happened?
Mikel Antonio 1:32
Yeah, look, listen, at the end of the day, a win's a win, I've said. We're moving to a new stadium and we ain't just going to get wins given because we moved here. We have to earn them. And today, that's what we've done. I didn't think Bournemouth had a couple of chances at the end, but I didn't think they had that much. All in all, it was probably a fair game, but the big man at the end popped up and I did say to him two minutes before the end, go and be a hero. He went and was one, so great. Is that right? Did you take his advice? Yeah, I did.
Mark Noble 1:59
He actually said two minutes before we were stuck up to the far stick, he actually said, go be here. And I was like, as soon as I saw that ball digged up to the back post, I was like, pickings for me. It's just one of those things. I'm always going to be there and I'm always going to try and get on the back stick. But amazing game.

What impact did the red card have on the match's outcome?

Mark Noble 2:17
Great feeling. Good to be back in the score sheet. I think first ever Prem goal here. What can I say?
Alan Smith 2:24
As Mark said, what a week it's been. Is it fair to say it's been an unusual week for you personally? Monday night, conceded a penalty, taken off, then you get the first ever goal and a winning goal here at the new stadium.
Mark Noble 2:33
Yeah, definitely. It's one of those things where I gave away a pen, obviously it was disappointing to me. I managed to get taken off straight away. It's just one of those things where you can't let that stuff affect you. You've got to forget about it, it's in the past and move on. And I did and I managed to get a win ahead. So it's just one of those things where in football you always get another chance and it's whether you take it.
Alan Smith 2:51
How much did you enjoy playing further forward today?
Mark Noble 2:53
I thrived at it. It's just one of those things, I was in awe of it and just enjoyed every single minute of it. And that's what I managed to get my goal, so hopefully I can keep doing it.
Alan Smith 3:04
Mark, how much is today tinged with relief as well? First time of asking, you get a win here.
Mikel Antonio 3:09
Yeah, look, listen, we lost Dimi in the week for this game. Obviously, you know, in the pre-season with Manu and Cresswell, and obviously we lost Andy on Thursday night as well, Sofian Fuguli. So it's been tough for us with the Europa League as well, but as I said, we ain't going to get given points here, we have to earn them. Bournemouth were a good team, we watched them against United, and up until the mistake, they were in the game. So we knew it was going to be tough today, no easy games in this league, but the three points is extra special when it's the first game here.
Alan Smith 3:44
I saw you go all the way back to Adrian when he made that terrific save from Josh King right at the end, was that underlining the gratitude that you have for him?
