    MAN OF THE MATCH?

    Report

    Burnley failed to hold off a West Ham United comeback for a rare victory as the Hammers came from 2-0 down to earn a hard-fought point at London Stadium.

    Vincent Kompany’s side looked on course to secure just their fourth Premier League win of the season, but they could not prevent substitute Danny Ings from equalising against his former club in stoppage time.

    How the match unfolded

    Kalvin Phillips returned from suspension for West Ham in place of Edson Alvarez as David Moyes made four changes from Thursday's Europa League defeat at Freiburg.

    Kompany named an unchanged side for Burnley, although Josh Brownhill, who was suspended for the 2-0 home defeat by AFC Bournemouth last weekend, returned to the substitutes' bench.

    Burnley started brightly and were rewarded for their endeavour in style, when David Datro Fofana evaded two challenges before unleashing a thunderous 25-yard strike past Alphonse Areola.

    It was a first goal in four matches for Burnley, who had not scored since a 3-1 defeat at Liverpool on 10 February.

    West Ham were struggling to impose themselves on the match, with Burnley happy to frustrate the hosts’ rhythm and defend their lead.

    And in first-half stoppage time, Burnley extended their advantage as Konstantinos Mavropanos diverted a cross from Josh Cullen into his own net.

    Following a poor opening half, Moyes reacted by taking off Phillips and James Ward-Prowse. The pair will have been disappointed not to have been given longer to impress in front of the watching England manager Gareth Southgate.

    Indeed, the changes had the desired effect and a minute after the restart, Lucas Paqueta broke forward before coolly slotting past James Trafford.

    West Ham were now playing with purpose as they sought an equaliser, but their willingness to break forward left them vulnerable on the counter, which Burnley almost exploited but Fofana could only shoot straight at Areola.

    Mohammed Kudus had a decent chance to put West Ham back on level terms, but after Jarrod Bowen had cut the ball back to him, the Ghanian fired over.

    Vladimir Coufal went even closer for the Hammers on 76 minutes when his cross took a huge deflection and clipped the top of the crossbar.

    Ten minutes later, Ings had a goal overturned for offside after a VAR review, before eventually grabbing the equaliser in the 91st minute.

    There was still time for the former Burnley forward to strike the woodwork, while at the other end, Areola made a brilliant save to keep out substitute Brownhill.

    West Ham are seventh on 43 points, while Burnley remain 19 with 14 points.
