Mark Noble scores twice as David Moyes' West Ham beat Bournemouth 4-0 in emphatic performance.
Mark Noble's second goal puts him fourth on the all-time Premier League penalty scorers list, level with Manchester City's Sergio Aguero on 26
"I don't think I could have had a better start," he said."But I can't take the credit, the players take the credit with their attitude and commitment, it felt as if they could give the supporters something. They played really well. Noble opened the scoring inside 20 minutes with the help of a deflection before Haller's bicycle kick doubled the Hammers' lead.
"It's our first time in the relegation zone for a long time, but that might be a good thing for us. It will change the mindset."West Ham United 4-0 AFC Bournemouth: I hate not doing my job well - Eddie HoweIn his first spell at the Hammers' helm, Moyes lost his opening match in charge - away to Watford - and had to wait four games before finally getting a win on the board.
The scorer geed up the crowd as the match got back under way, signalling to them to ramp up the volume, and they did exactly that when Haller found the back of the net seven minutes later, through an exquisite mid-air finish from Ryan Fredericks' cross. Cresswell looked to have produced the only blot on an otherwise blemish-free day for West Ham when referee Graham Scott showed him a straight red for a needless tackle on Fraser, but it was Scott who was left red-faced when VAR overturned his decision.Four changes were also the order of the day for Eddie Howe's Cherries as they looked to start 2020 in better fashion than 2019 had ended - but it did not go to plan.
The wind was truly taken out of their sails when they went 2-0 behind, unable to do anything to deny Haller's acrobatics, and then 3-0 down, although Rico did force Lukasz Fabianski into a decent save in the closing stages of the first half. West Ham were 3-0 ahead after just 35 minutes in this match, the earliest they've established such a lead in a Premier League game since May 2007 against Bolton .
