Bournemouth earned their first ever top-flight win as Callum Wilson's hat-trick downed West Ham in a dramatic encounter.
Wilson scored twice in the first half with first-time finishes, with left-back Aaron Cresswell at fault for both.
Mark Noble scored a penalty for West Ham and Cheikhou Kouyate levelled.
Mark Pugh put the Cherries ahead from 16 yards and Wilson scored a penalty, with Carl Jenkinson sent off, before Modibo Maiga ensured a tense finale.
Jenkinson's sending off, for a foul on the lively Max Gradel, was West Ham's fifth red card of the season.
Wilson hat-trick steals the show
Wilson was the undoubted star of the show at Upton Park with his first Premier League goal. And then his second. And then a third.
The former England Under-21 striker scored 23 goals last season following his £3m move from Coventry as the Cherries were promoted to the Premier League.
The 23-year-old, who only made his Football League debut in 2013, had been tipped to have a good season but a hat-trick in his third top-flight game must have been more than he could have hoped for.
The first came from Francis's cross which he met with a venomous effort. His second was another first-time punt, this time after some poor Aaron Cresswell control in the box.
He passed up the opportunity to complete his hat-trick late in the first half when he squared to Max Gradel but it came from the spot with 11 minutes left.
Defensive errors and poor discipline cost Hammers
West Ham have only themselves to blame for their disappointing start to the season.
A Europa League qualifying exit was followed by a 2-0 win over Arsenal, but back-to-back defeats by some of the Premier League's weaker teams could cause manager Slaven Bilic to worry about his side's mentality.
Cresswell was the club's player of the year in 2014 but was horribly caught out by Simon Francis for Bournemouth's opener and then sloppily controlled the ball which gifted Wilson his second goal.
He was lucky the Hammers did not have an experienced left-back on the bench when Bilic replaced defender Angelo Ogbonna with James Tomkins after 35 minutes.
West Ham improved a bit after the break, leading to their comeback, but the game was beyond them when Gradel destroyed Jenkinson for pace, which led to the defender fouling him for a penalty and red card.
And yet again Bilic - who accepted Jenkinson was rightly sent off - will need to reshuffle his team as a result of suspension, with the Arsenal loanee picking up their fifth red card in nine games this season.
