EPL: BURNLEY PIP RELEGATION – THREATENED HAMMERS

Published by Akorede on July 8th, 2020.

Jay Rodriguez’s winner edged Burnley in the direction of a Europa League spot as relegation-threatened West Ham have been left to rue a number of missed chances.

The forward met Charlie Taylor’s whipped delivery with a flicked header that looped over Lukasz Fabianski and dropped in off the crossbar.

It came after a string of best saves from Clarets goalkeeper Nick Pope.

Michail Antonio additionally struck a put up and Pope then turned substitute Sebastien Haller’s effort wide together with his studs.

It changed into a wonderful threat along with his first touch of the game for West Ham’s record signing, who got here off the bench after coming back from a hip injury.

Chris Wood idea he had delivered a 2d for the site visitors with 14 minutes to move when he tapped in Phil Bardsley’s low cross however was dominated offside.

The win takes Sean Dyche’s aspect to inside one factor of eighth-located Arsenal, while the Hammers remain four points above the relegation zone.
