Burnley 0 West Ham 0
Was away in Edinburgh for this one, and while it's welcome to get a point at a ground where WHU usually struggle, there's a sense of two points lost here. The Irons had nearly all the chances looking at the TV highlights. Masuaku volleyed narrowly wide, headers from Diop and Benrahma tested Nick Pope and Dawson had a very good claim for a penalty turned down by VAR.
Rice looked most likely to make the breakthrough. shooting just over and then forcing a fine save from Pope after a barnstorming run. Yet at the end Burnley could have nicked it had Rodriguez connected with Taylor's inviting cross. At least Vlasic did better as a sub and set up a great late chance for Soucek to win it.
It's worrying that Antonio is still struggling to score and the side is looking a little jaded in terms of creating chances. Soucek, Benrahma, Lanzini and Fornals need to get among the goals again. But at least the resilience is still there, though we'll have to be more effective creatively against Arsenal on Wednesday.
