West Ham United vs Burnley
It's a draw that doesn't satisfy either team here then, but they'll both take a point and move on. Our thoughts are with Westwood first and foremost. May he recover from his injury quickly. That's all for now. Goodbye!

West Ham stay seventh in the Premier League, with the teams around them all boasting games in hand. They had 21 shots in this game to Burnley's nine, but couldn't fully turn their first-half deficit around. Burnley stay 18th, three points behind Everton. They're facing an uphill struggle to stay up now. Westwood's horrible injury will make their task harder.

It's honours even at London Stadium! West Ham and Burnley have played out a reasonably entertaining score draw. Burnley will have dreamt of three points after Weghorst's first-half header gave them the lead and Cornet missed from the spot. The Hammers fought back in the second half, and came close to winning after Soucek's equaliser, but it was not to be.
