"The Hammers did go behind after Zian Flemming headed home from Leslie Ugochukwu's cross, but they crucially equalised before the end of the first half through Callum Wilson's second goal for the club. West Ham took the lead with 13 minutes to go as Tomas Soucek bundled the ball home after goalkeeper Martin Dubravka spilled a Lucas Paqueta cross into his path, while Kyle Walker-Peters added another with a rebound after Soucek had let fly from distance."
"I am happy for the boys and our fans. This was a massive game for us. The goal we conceded, the reaction was good. We have proved we want to change things, we want to be strong characters. The boys on the pitch are showing this slowly. I think it's a small step, another day where we have achieved something at London Stadium which means a lot. But we will not get carried away."
West Ham came from behind to defeat Burnley 3-2 and recorded back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time since October 2024. Zian Flemming put Burnley ahead with a header from Leslie Ugochukwu's cross before Callum Wilson equalised before half-time. Tomas Soucek bundled home the go-ahead goal after a Lucas Paqueta cross was spilled by Martin Dubravka, and Kyle Walker-Peters made it 3-1 with a rebound. Josh Cullen reduced the deficit but West Ham held on and moved level with Burnley on goal difference. Nuno Espirito Santo emphasized focus and cautioned against complacency. Soucek now has 38 Premier League goals, joint-most by a Czech.
