West Ham, under manager Nuno Espirito Santo, achieved a consecutive win with a come-from-behind 3-2 victory over Burnley at the London Stadium.
The Hammers, who were without a win at home in nine games, look rejuvenated under the stewardship of the former Nottingham Forest manager and picked up three points following last weekend’s win over Newcastle.
They also had a tough time, falling behind Jean Fleming’s header. This goal gave the home side a boost and Callum Wilson scored the vital equalizer just before the end of the first half.
The game remained even in the second half, but substitute Tomas Soucek came on at the back post to tuck in Lucas Paqueta’s cross and score another big goal.
Soucek was also involved in the third goal. His long-range shot was spilled by Martin Dubravka and Kyle Walker-Peters forced the ball over the line.

Former West Ham academy product Josh Cullen scored in stoppage time for Burnley after an Alphonse Alleroa mistake, but it was too little, too late for Scott Parker’s side.
Although the Hammers remain in the relegation zone, they have finally found momentum in their season.
More to come…
