"Having registered a rare home victory over Newcastle United last time out, the Hammers repeated the trick at London Stadium to ease the pressure on Nuno Espirito Santo. It is a result that moves West Ham level on points with 17th-placed Burnley at the wrong end of the Premier League table, but it was a performance that showed plenty of fight."
"After going close in the opening exchanges, Zian Flemming rewarded Burnley's early dominance in the 35th minute with a fine header into the bottom-right corner from Lesley Ugochukwu's teasing delivery into the area. But the Clarets' lead lasted for just nine minutes as Callum Wilson nodded in his second goal for West Ham after seeing Crysencio Summerville's shot deflect into his path."
"However, as he did against Newcastle, Soucek emerged from the bench to score in the 77th minute with a chested finish into the net after Martin Dubravka failed to grasp Lucas Paqueta's cross shot into the box. The Burnley goalkeeper was again at fault for West Ham's third, this time spilling Soucek's shot from distance, which saw fellow sub Kyle Walker-Peters profit as he slid the ball into the net ahead of Bowen."
West Ham United came from behind to defeat Burnley 3-2, securing back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time since February. Burnley took the lead through Zian Flemming’s 35th-minute header from Lesley Ugochukwu’s delivery. Callum Wilson equalised nine minutes later after Crysencio Summerville’s shot deflected into his path. Tomas Soucek scored a 77th-minute winner after Martin Dubravka failed to hold Lucas Paqueta’s cross-shot, and Kyle Walker-Peters profited from a spilled Soucek effort to add a third. Burnley reduced the deficit late after Alphonse Areola missed a stoppage-time shot, but the comeback stood.
