Paul Merson reflects on Bournemouth's 1-0 win over West Brom at the Vitality Stadium.

Jack Wilshere's Bournemouth debut ended in victory as Callum Wilson's deft flick handed them a narrow 1-0 victory over West Brom on Saturday.

The build-up to the match was dominated by talk of whether Wilshere would start, but the Arsenal loanee had to wait to make his bow after being named on the bench.

After Wilshere's introduction, it was all Bournemouth as Junior Stanislas shot straight at Foster despite having plenty of time to place his effort.

With 11 minutes to go, Bournemouth finally broke the deadlock, with Wilson showing great audacity to flick the ball with his heel into the far corner following Adam Smith's low cross.

The hosts ran the clock down and held on for their first league victory this campaign, ending their run of eight league games without a win.
