In what was anticipated as a promising debut for Kalvin Phillips at West Ham after his recent loan move from Manchester City, the midfielder endured a challenging start in the match against Bournemouth. David Moyes entrusted Phillips with a starting position, but just three minutes into the game, an unfortunate back pass by Phillips was intercepted by Dominic Solanke, who efficiently converted the opportunity to give Bournemouth an early lead.
Fans took to social media to express their reactions, with some sympathizing with Phillips, while others humorously labeled it as a “great assist.” However, some pointed out the role of Kurt Zouma’s pass that led to the error, sparking discussions among supporters. Despite the early setback, West Ham managed to salvage a point, thanks to James Ward-Prowse’s second-half penalty.
The draw was a relief for the Hammers, mitigating the impact of Phillips’ early mistake. Phillips, having completed his loan move from Manchester City last week, is eager to secure regular playing time under Moyes. With aspirations of solidifying his place in Gareth Southgate’s Euro squad, Phillips remains determined to make a positive impact for West Ham in the coming matches.
