Match report: Burnley 1-2 West Ham

Liz Byrnes braved the elements at Turf Moor to see West Ham come from behind to keep the heat on fourth-placed Chelsea. Here’s how she saw the action unfold …

Michail Antonio double boosts West Ham’s top-four hopes with Burnley win

5.44pm EDT 17:44

David Moyes speaks: “I thought the team played really well,” says West Ham’s manager. “We’ve won 2-1 but I thought we were worth a lot more than that. We had to ride a little bit of luck towards the end but overall we should have been out of sight going by the amount of opportunities we had to score.”

On his attacking line-up: “We have to go for it. I don’t know if we’re good enough to be in the top four, but while we’re around that area of the table, we have to try and challenge for it. I’d love to be in Europe; it would be an incredible achievement for us if we could do that. But we’re not that far away from the Champions League positions, so we’ve got to keep believing that we could fall into that fourth spot even if it take us until the last game of the season.”

5.37pm EDT 17:37

Sean Dyche speaks: “It was a good game,” he tells Sky Sports. “It was played at a very good tempo, a very quick tempo. Both teams were going at it in search of different rewards: them chasing a Champions League spot, us making sure we’re trying to look after ourselves. I didn’t think we went far wrong with our level, I just think they were very good tonight. THey’re a good side, they’ve proved that all season and they had a little bit more edge in their attack and in transition.”

5.31pm EDT 17:31

Ben Mee speaks: “We just didn’t quite do enough,” the Burnley skipper tells Sky Sports. “We were huffing and puffing a bit and it didn’t drop for us. Good start. We could have done better on both those crosses [for West Ham’s goals] – their front three caused us some problems. We came in full of confidence after Sunday [when they thrashed Wolves]. We were well up for this game.”

5.25pm EDT 17:25

Antonio on his muted celebration: “I’ve had a couple of goals disallowed by VAR,” he says. “I thought I don’t want to be there doing a dance and the goal gets disallowed. I’ve toned down my celebrations. A couple of times I’ve been about to do one and a handball or whatever, VAR has killed it.”

On the possibility of West Ham qualifying for the Champions League: “It would be unbelievable. Everybody wants to play in the Champions League. I have been here a few years and there have been so many seasons we were fighting to stay in the league and now we have the opportunity for top four, it’s a dream come true. We will keep fighting, keep pushing.”

5.23pm EDT 17:23

Michail Antonio speaks: “I am buzzing,” says the scorer of both West Ham goals in an interview with Sky Sports. “I am over the moon. It’s bit disappointing for me not to get the hat-trick but we are going to keep going and keep winning games. This is a tough place to come. It is one of those games you dread, it is so tough. But we managed to be resilient and get it done.”

5.17pm EDT 17:17

Match recap: After 19 minutes of Bank Holiday dross, the match sparked into life when Chris Wood won and converted a penalty to give Burnley the lead and increase his own remarkable scoring record against West Ham.

Michail Antonio restored parity within two minutes, heading home a cross from the right, before putting Wet Ham ahead by roofing a cross from the left. He missed two decent chances to notch a hat-trick on his return from injury, while assorted team-mates also squandered chances.

Burnley had opportunities to rescue something from the game, with Ashley Barnes missing the pick of them after coming off the bench. West Ham were left hanging on for grim death at the finish, but leave Turf Moor with all three points.

5.10pm EDT 17:10

What it means: West Ham go fifth, just three points behind Chelsea. Burnley stay in 16th place, not yet safe from relegation … while looking quite safe from relegation as they sit nine points clear of the drop zone.

Full time: Burnley 1-2 West Ham

Peep! Peep! Peeeeeep! That’s a big win for West Ham, who played some scintillating football at times but wasted chance after chance to end up hanging on by the skin of their teeth.

5.06pm EDT 17:06

90+4 min: Lingard and Fornals try to keep the ball in the corner but the latter is penalised for offisde.

5.05pm EDT 17:05

90+3 min: Nick Pope came up for the corner but was unable to make an impact.

5.04pm EDT 17:04

90+2 min: Another Burnley corner, Dawson taking the ball off Barnes’s toe before he can shoot. Soucek wins the header.

5.03pm EDT 17:03

90 min: A West Ham breakaway ends with Jesse Lingard firing at Nick Pope from a tight angle. The ball goes out for a croenr, which Mee clears. We’ll have three minutes of added time and I would not be in the least bit surprised if West Ham concede an equaliser.

5.02pm EDT 17:02

88 min: Craig Dawson puts a Charlie Taylor cross out for a corner. It’s squeaky bum time for West Ham. From the delivery, the ball is cleared as far as Ashley Westwood, whose shot is blocked. West Ham are riding their luck here.

5.00pm EDT 17:00

87 min: Now Gudmondsson is booked for bundling over Vladimir Coufal.

4.59pm EDT 16:59

86 min: Burnley substitution: Ashley Barnes on for Chris Wood, who has had a very quiet second half.

4.58pm EDT 16:58

86 min: Craig Dawson is booked for time-wasting at the resultant free-kick.

4.58pm EDT 16:58

84 min: Burnley enjoy a spell of possession which ends when Issa Diop heads a cross from the left clear. Ben Mee is booked for a tactical foul.

4.55pm EDT 16:55

82 min: Fornals receives a pass from Antonio on the right side of the Burnley penalty area and cuts inside but is unable to steady himself to unleash a shot before Ben Mee hoves into view and blocks.

4.53pm EDT 16:53

80 min: Pablo Fornals gets booked for going in studs up on Gudmondsson and I think he’s lucky not to get sent off for that. It was reckless.

4.52pm EDT 16:52

79 min: West Ham substitute: Jarrod Bowen on for Said Benrahma, who was excellent … even before he had his dinner two-thirds of the way through the first half.

4.51pm EDT 16:51

78 min: Gudmondsson crosses from the left, trying to pick out Rodriguez. Craig Dawson intercepts and clears. Another great Moyes signing – he couldn’t get a game for Watford before he rocked up at West Ham.

4.49pm EDT 16:49

76 min: West Ham press and probe hither and yon across the edge of the final third but are unable to find an opening on this occasion. It would beggar belief if they somehow contrived to drop points in this game but stranger things have happened.

4.46pm EDT 16:46

73 min: Cresswell makes it 19. His low, diagonal drive from outside the penalty area flashes across the face of goal and a couple of yards wide of the far post.

4.45pm EDT 16:45

72 min: Another chance goes begging for West Ham. After some crisp passing in the build-up, Benrahma plays the ball to Antonio’s feet in the penalty area. He looks a certainty to score but sends his shot fizzing the wrong side of the upright. That was West Ham’s 18th attempt on goal, if not on target.

4.43pm EDT 16:43

70 min: With the rain pouring down at Turf Moor, Jay Rodriguez stretches to get his head to an Ashley Westwood corner at the far post. It’s a mite too high for him and the ball skims wide off the top of his head.

4.40pm EDT 16:40

66 min: A bit of a wake-up call there for West Ham, who should have put this game to bed by now. Rodriguez snatched at his effort, putting it wide with the outside of his left boot, perhaps not realising he had more time to pick his spot than he thought.

4.38pm EDT 16:38

64 min: That’s an astonishing miss from Jay Rodriguez, who shoots straight at Fabianski from close range, before firing the follow-up wide of a gaping goal. It was excellent goalkeeping from Fabianski, who saved first from Brownhill, then Rodriguez before watching on in amazement as the ball went wide from the substitute’s second attempt.

4.36pm EDT 16:36

62 min: West Ham break on the counter and Jesse Lingard wins a corner off Matt Lowton. It’s taken short to creat an angle, but when the ball is eventually delivered to the forehead of Tomas Soucek on the edge of the Burnley penalty area, three different West Ham players, including him, are offside.

4.33pm EDT 16:33

60 min: Burnley substitution: Jay Rodriguez on, Matej Vydra off.

4.30pm EDT 16:30

56 min: From a West Ham corner, the ball is cleared as far as Benrahma just outside the Burnley penalty area. He volleys it not so much over the bar as into outer space.

4.29pm EDT 16:29

55 min: Antonio misses a sitter! Teed up by Benrahma with a cross from inside the Burnley penalty area, he tries to side foot the ball home but hits it against the ankle of his standing leg. West Ham are battering Burnley in this second half but findiing that all important third goal difficult to come by.

4.27pm EDT 16:27

54 min: Now Benrahma tries to pick out Lingard with a pull-back, but this time Ashley Westwood steps in to intercept.

4.26pm EDT 16:26

53 min: Antonio picks out Lingard with a pull-back to the edge of the Burnley penalty area but he’s unable to find a half-yard to try a shot.

4.24pm EDT 16:24

52 min: Said Benhrama tries a sepculative shot from distance but his diagonal effort is well wide of the far post.

4.22pm EDT 16:22

49 min: West Ham go close again, this time from a corner. The ball finds its way to Antonio at the far post, but he’s unable to control the high bounce.

4.21pm EDT 16:21

47 min: West Ham gallop upfield on the counterwith Michail Antonio on the ball in the inside right channel. Benrahma is up in support and Antonio squares the ball, but the delivery is just behind his team-mate. With more precise passing, West Ham would almost certainly have extended their lead.

4.19pm EDT 16:19

47 min: Charlie Taylor attempts to cross from the left and the ball goes out for a corner off Pablo Fornals. The ensuing inswinger is cleared at the far post.

4.18pm EDT 16:18

Second half: Burnley 1-2 West Ham

46 min: Not normally renowned for his gung-ho attitude, David Moyes’s very attacking selection is paying dividends so far, despite the early scare visited upon them by their hosts. Can they hang on and go fifth? Burnley get the ball rolling and there are no changes in personnel on either side.

4.05pm EDT 16:05

Half-time: Burnley 1-2 West Ham

Peep! Anthony Taylor draw the half to a close with West Ham leading by the odd goal of three. Chris Wood opened the scoring for Burnley after a fairly dull opening 19 minutes, only for Michail Antonio to equalise two minutes later. The West Ham striker fired his side into the lead just before the half-hour mark and the visitors are worthy leaders.

4.02pm EDT 16:02

45+1 min: Ben Mee hoofs the ball clear but only as far as Tomas Soucek. He fouls Dwight McNeil and Burnley have a free-kick just inside their own half.

3.59pm EDT 15:59

43 min: A half that was at times very bad and at other times quite excellent ticks towards it’s conclusion. Craig Dawson and Aaron Cresswell combine to clear a dangerous ball into their penalty area that was heading for an unmarked Wood.

3.56pm EDT 15:56

41 min: Issa Diop clears a Charlie Taylor cross into the West Ham penalty area from the edge of the six-yard box.

3.55pm EDT 15:55

39 min: Another chance for West Ham, as Soucek fires wide after being teed up by his compatriot Coufal. A job lot that came cheap as chips, what a tremendous pair of David Moyes signings they’ve been.

3.53pm EDT 15:53

36 min: The sun having gone down, Said Benrahma, who went close again just before that Vydra chance, takes a quick break to go to the touchline and wolf down a couple of energy gels. A practicing Muslim, he is fasting for Ramadan, which means that will have been his first “meal” of the day.
