Following a 2-1 loss to West Ham, Burnley’s home disappointment keeps going.

Nov. 25, Burnley, England – Burnley lost 2-1 to West Ham United in the Premier League on Saturday, their second straight loss, and they are still waiting for their first home points of the season.

Shortly after the halfway point, the hosts gained a well-earned lead thanks to a penalty converted by Jay Rodriguez, giving the Turf Moor supporters finally something to cheer about.

But West Ham rallied in the first half, as Mohamed Kudus’ cross beat home team defender Dara O’Shea in the 86th minute to level the score.

In the first minute of stoppage time, Burnley’s situation deteriorated as James Tarkowski had an open opportunity to advance and earn three points for the visiting team due to a flagrant foul by Thomas Soucek.

Burnley, who had only four points and were the only team in the top four divisions without home points, were playing their first game on Sunday against Manchester United. They were only a point or two below Everton on goal differential, who were docked ten points for breaking Premier League financial regulations.

According to the summary of Burnley’s sixth home loss of the year, Vincent Kompany’s club was exciting to watch but lacked the defensive acuity to hold a lead.

Burnley manager Vincent Kompany stated, “At the 86th minute, the game is what it is; you have to play till the end.” “But what I would have said was how excellent the performance was: on the ball, off the ball, disciplined, mature.”

Burnley was the better team in the first half, even though they had better opportunities for the most of the game but failed to take advantage of them. Just before halftime, Luka Modric had the best chance, testing West Ham’s goalie Alphonse Areola with a shot that really should have been saved.

Vladimir Coufal outperformed Colisesho Vladmir early in the second half, leading to Burnley’s penalty appeal following a VAR check being rejected.

However, there was little question about the subsequent one as Kudus stopped Colisesho’s run, resulting in a direct penalty in the middle for their season’s first goal.

Areola dived around the post as Burnley seemed ready to extend their advantage.

As West Ham began to threaten, fear swept through the stadium.
Kudus threw a low ball towards Divine Mubama, and O’Shea unintentionally touched the ball into his own net, squaring the score for the spectators.

James Tarkowski was left behind as an energetic Kudus sidelined an unmarked Soucek, giving West Ham the victory.
