Stalemate in London: West Ham and Bournemouth Play to a Goalless Draw
London, February 21, 2026 – The London Stadium hosted a hard-fought match between West Ham and Bournemouth that ended in a 0-0 draw. Despite the intensity in midfield, reflected in the yellow cards shown to T. Soucek of West Ham and M. Senesi of Bournemouth, neither team was able to break the other’s defensive lock.
Bournemouth dominated possession with 58%, constantly searching for openings in the West Ham defense. However, the home defense remained solid, allowing only 5 shots on target out of Bournemouth’s 10 attempts. West Ham, with 42% possession, generated a higher volume of shots with 20 attempts, although only 3 managed to be on target. The lack of precision in the shots and the rival’s defensive strength prevented the “Hammers” from capitalizing on their opportunities. The match was characterized by a high number of fouls, 10 from West Ham and 11 from Bournemouth, which disrupted the flow of the game. Both teams generated opportunities from set pieces, with 9 corners for West Ham and 5 for Bournemouth, but failed to convert them into goals.
