West Ham star Marko Arnautovic wears misspelt Hammers shirt during draw with Bournemouth

The Austria international scored in the 82nd and 89th minutes at the Vitality Stadium, taking his tally to five goals in six games

MARKO ARNAUTOVIC  inspired West Ham's late comeback against Bournemouth on Tuesday - however not everything went the Hammers forward's way.

West Ham's kitman was left with pie on his face after Arnautovic's name was misspelt on the back of his shirt - reading "Arnoutovic."

Fortunately, that was the only Arnautovic-related gaffe of the evening as the Austrian scored in the 82nd and 89th minutes at the Vitality stadium.

The goals brought his season tally to six, including four goals in his last four matches.

The frontman has become a fan favourite since his £25million move from Stoke in the summer and is enjoying a purple patch.

During West Ham's 3-3 draw with Bournemouth, Arnautovic's first goal levelled the scoreline after the Hammers initially took the lead through James Collins.

Callum Wilson controversial injury time equaliser for Bournemouth against West Ham - was he offside and did he hand ball it?

Arnautovic then thought he had won the game with another goal a minute from time, but Bournemouth netted a controversial late goal through Callum Wilson.

Wilson's effort, which was initially disallowed, sparked a discussion between officials before they allowed the goal despite the Bournemouth man being offside and handling the ball.

Speaking post-match, West Ham boss Davis Moyes said: "I don't know how it was overruled."

"I don't know how or why he [Madley] would have to go to him if the linesman gives an offside.

"You rarely see that in any game where a linesman puts his flag up and it would be changed."
