Callum Wilson netted a fine hat-trick to lead Bournemouth to their first ever Premier League win, with the Cherries edging a seven-goal thriller against a ten-man West Ham.<\/p>\n

\"Bournemouth's<\/a><\/p>\n

Eddie Howe\u2019s side dominated the first-half at Upton Park and looked to be cruising to a historic three points when striker Wilson netted twice inside 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

\"Westham\"<\/a><\/p>\n

But\u00a0the\u00a0hosts came roaring back after the break, with Mark Noble\u2019s 48th minute penalty and Cheikhou Kouyate\u2019s close-range finish in the 53rd minute pulling the Hammers level.<\/p>\n

\"West<\/a><\/p>\n

Bournemouth, though, showed fight which will stand them in good stead this season, as the Cherries reclaiming\u00a0the lead as Marc Pugh fired in before Wilson completed his hat-trick from the spot.<\/p>\n

\"Swansea<\/a><\/p>\n

Carl Jenkinson was the guilty man, the on-loan Arsenal defender conceding the penalty and earning a red card for a clumsy last-man challenge on Max Gradel, and while Modibo Maiga\u00a0reduced the deficit again just three minutes later, battling Bournemouth\u00a0managed to hold on to secure a 4-3 win.<\/p>\n

\"SUNDERLAND,<\/a><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Sunderland halted their nightmare start to the season as Jermain Defoe\u2019s second-half strike rescued a 1-1 draw with Swansea at the Stadium of Light.<\/p>\n

\"Gomis\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Despite the Black Cats dominating the opening exchanges, it was Swansea who broke the deadlock against the run of play, Bafetimbi Gomis netting his third goal in three games on the stroke of half-time.<\/p>\n

Sunderland fans have been raging at their side after beginning the campaign with dismal back-to-back defeats, but there were signs of fight as they pressed for the equaliser\u00a0and it deservedly came on the hour mark when Defoe, played in from Jeremain Lens\u2019 perfect through ball, coolly slotted home.<\/p>\n

Both sides had chances to snatch three points late on, but Sunderland were ultimately indebted to Costel Pantilimon for the point, the goalkeeper\u00a0saving fierce strikes Jonjo Shelvey and Gylfi Sigurdsson before showing\u00a0lightning reflexes to claw away a late Gomis header.<\/p>\n
