Callum Wilson scored a hat trick as Bournemouth got its first ever Premier League victory by edging West Ham 4-3 Saturday at Upton Park.
The 23-year-old striker volleyed home in the 11th minute.
Wilson then capitalized on a poor pass from Aaron Cresswell to score his second in the 28th before West Ham quickly rallied after the break with two second-half goals — a penalty from Mark Noble and Cheikhou Kouyate’s tap in.
Substitute Marc Pugh put Bournemouth ahead again in the 66th and West Ham left back Carl Jenkinson got a red card for clipping Max Gradel in the box.
Wilson sealed the win by converting the subsequent penalty, although substitute Modibo Maiga scored in the 82nd to ensure a lively end.

Xherdan Shaqiri had an assist on his debut to help Stoke earn a 1-1 draw at Norwich on Saturday in the Premier League.
Shaqiri, who looked lively throughout, set up Mame Biram Diouf for Stoke’s opener in the 11th minute before Russell Martin equalized for the hosts in the 28th.

His free kick was headed in by Diouf before Martin levelled with a shot between the legs of goalkeeper Jack Butland. It was Butland who rescued a point for Stoke in the second half, making saves from Graham Dorrans, Cameron Jerome and Nathan Redmond.
