Third-bottom West Ham spurned the chance to put pressure on the teams above them in the table as they were held to a 0-0 draw at home to Bournemouth.
This was a meeting of two of the Premier League's form clubs, with only Chelsea and Manchester United having earned more points over their previous five league games.
But a wet encounter at the London Stadium was devoid of clear-cut chances until each team threw caution to the wind during the closing stages.
Callum Wilson, who scored a hat-trick at the Boleyn Ground to give Bournemouth their first Premier League win in August 2015, came off the bench for the Hammers and was soon denied by visiting goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic.
Jarrod Bowen then went close to a stoppage-time winner for the hosts, while new signing Rayan clipped a post on the counter-attack for Bournemouth - but they could not avoid a sixth straight draw between the two sides.
Victory would have put West Ham level with Nottingham Forest, although the draw means they have managed to close the gap to two points, while Bournemouth have edged above Everton into eighth place.
