Overview

  • Crysencio Summerville opened the scoring early and Valentin Castellanos added a second with a glancing header from Malick Diouf’s cross in a 2-0 win.
  • West Ham closed to within three points of safety after Nottingham Forest lost at Leeds the night before, tightening the relegation battle.
  • Burnley’s winless run stretched to 16 league games as the 19th‑placed hosts, weakened by multiple injuries and ineligible players, were booed off.

  • With defender Jean‑Clair Todibo suspended, West Ham still kept Burnley out as their goalkeeper made five saves to preserve the clean sheet.
