LONDON (Reuters) - West Ham United safely negotiated a nervous first Premier League game at their new ground to record their opening win of the season 1-0 against Bournemouth thanks to a late header from Michail Antonio at the London Stadium on Sunday.

As the curtain was prepared to come down on the Olympics in Rio, the venue that memorably hosted the 2012 Games was again festooned with flags and banners to mark its new incarnation as a top-flight English football ground.
