Things had been going swimmingly in the Premier League for West Ham United until they met AFC Bournemouth.

Following an opening day battering against Manchester City, the Hammers had gone on an unbeaten run in five league games, with a 2-0 victory against Manchester United being the most recent of those results.

However, their season turned around in a gut-wrenching moment for West Ham fans, in which they instantly knew things were going to get significantly more difficult.

That was when Lukasz Fabianski pulled up after kicking the ball, which left the Poland international with a hip injury that kept him out for 11 league games - things haven't been the same since.

West Ham got just one point from their next six games, with the calamitous Roberto filling the sticks - having just conceded four times against Oxford United in the Carabao Cup before coming on at the Vitality Stadium.

The team looked devoid of confidence when the Spaniard was in goal, and that feeling of belief doesn't seem to have returned for long periods at any point, whether that be under Manuel Pellegrini or David Moyes.

Even with the number 1 back between the sticks, things haven't improved significantly, as they are currently sitting above the relegation zone on goal difference.

There have been plenty of singular moments that will have had onlookers scratching their heads, but this is the incident in which West Ham's complete and continued capitulation in the 2019/20 season started.
