In a thrilling Premier League encounter, West Ham substitute Danny Ings thwarted his former club Burnley’s hopes of securing a rare victory after a remarkable comeback from a 2-0 deficit. Burnley appeared on course for only their fourth win of the season as they took the lead through goals from David Datro Fofana and Konstantinos Mavropanos’s own goal before halftime. However, West Ham, initially lackluster, emerged revitalized in the second half. Lucas Paqueta’s quick response within 30 seconds of the restart injected new life into the Hammers’ performance, showcasing a level of determination and urgency that had been lacking earlier in the match.
Despite Burnley’s valiant efforts to hold on for a crucial win, Ings’ dramatic late intervention, which saw his effort hit the crossbar in injury time, ensured the match ended in a 2-2 draw. The result saw Burnley move off the bottom of the Premier League table, albeit by goal difference, while West Ham maintained their seventh-place position. With only 10 games remaining in the season, Burnley and West Ham find themselves in different battles – Burnley fighting to avoid relegation, while West Ham seeks to secure their position in the top half of the table.
