Overview

  • Zian Flemming put Burnley in front before Callum Wilson equalised on the stroke of half-time, with Tomas Soucek and Kyle Walker-Peters striking late ahead of Josh Cullen’s stoppage-time consolation.
  • The victory moves West Ham to 10 points alongside Burnley, who stay 17th with the Hammers 18th on inferior goal difference.
  • Soucek again proved decisive off the bench, scoring for the second straight match after replacing the injured Freddie Potts.
  • Walker-Peters registered his first West Ham goal from close range after Martin Dubravka failed to hold Soucek’s effort.
  • Supporter protests against the club’s leadership continued outside the ground, while reaction focused on disputed decisions by referee Michael Salisbury and strong social-media criticism of Max Kilman.
