    Time:90'
    • West Ham United
    • Burnley
    • 90+3' The full-time whistle goes at Upton Park, and West Ham have clinched a 5-3 victory in an action-packed match with Burnley restoring some pride with three late goals! Thanks for joining us.
    • 90+1' Eagles caps a fine display in midfield for Burnley with a tap-in from Bikey's cross and that is the visitors' third!
    • 89' Caldwell is shown a straight red card for hauling down Hines as a free kick is given on the edge of the area.
    • 87' Bikey drives a low shot straight at Green, and West Ham are just seeing out the final minutes of the match now.
    • 85' Hines is brought down by Caldwell for what is a definite penalty, but Chris Foy sees nothing in it - clearly he has no more left to give!
    • 83' Hines really is exceptionally quick and he nips in to beat Bikey to the ball, before Ilunga is booked for a foul on Eagles.
    • 81' Parker is again instrumental as he wins the ball back for West Ham on halfway, before Hines is clattered from behind by McDonald.
    • 78' Coyle, the model of positivity, is on the touchline waving his players forward as they press for a third!
    • 75' Eagles delivers a superb free kick which zips off the turf and goes narrowly wide with Green stretching desperately.
    • 73' GOAL!!! FLETCHER NETS A SECOND AND IT IS A NEAR REPLICA OF THE FIRST! Again, it is Eagles who streaks down the left wing and drives across a pinpoint delivery for Fletcher to tuck away past Green with the West Ham defence just spectators.
    • 71' Burnley, to their credit, are not wilting despite the scoreline, and are continuing to press forward in search of further goals.
    • 68' GOAL!!! FLETCHER NETS A CONSOLATION STRIKE FOR BURNLEY! Eagles whips in a precise cross from the left and the delivery is so incisive that Fletcher simply could not miss!
    • 68' Graham Alexander dishes out a fearful rollicking to Bikey before he is sensibly withdrawn by Coyle, with Kevin McDonald coming on in his place.
    • 65' West Ham continue to pile on the pressure in search of a sixth as the home fans roar on their side.
    • 62' GOAL!!! JIMENEZ MAKES IT FIVE FROM THE SPOT! The substitute steps up to convert the penalty which he won and he sends Jensen the wrong way, just like Cole before him!
    • 61' Jimenez takes a tumble over Jensen's body as the keeper comes rushing off his line to meet the Chilean, and West Ham have their second penalty of the game!
    • 58' Luis Jimenez is the replacement for Guillermo Franco, who receives a standing ovation from the home fans.
    • 55' Burnley should get a goal back through Nugent, but the striker heads wide of Green's near post when unmarked in the West Ham box from Alexander's cross - poor effort!
    • 53' Robbie Blake is replaced by David Nugent, while Christian Kalvenes comes on for Stephen Jordan as Coyle makes a double change.
    • 51' GOAL!!!! FRANCO MAKES IT FOUR! Stanislas whips over a delightful delivery which Franco meets with his head and Jensen is beaten for a fourth time in the Burnley goal!
    • 48' Jordan up-ends Collison and West Ham have a free-kick in a very dangerous position out on the right of the penalty area.
    • 46' The injury-stricken Cole is replaced by Zavon Hines for West Ham, who are cantering.
    • 46' The second half is underway at Upton Park and West Ham kick us off in buoyant mood - can Burnley respond?
    • 45+3' The half-time whistle goes at Upton Park, and West Ham are rampant as they lead Burnley 3-0 courtesy of goals from Jack Collison, Junior Stanislas and a penalty from Carlton Cole! Burnley leave the field sheepishly having defended pretty shoddily.
    • 45+1' Franco is back on the field and hussles Carlisle well into the corner of the Burnley half to win an attacking throw in for his side, but Stanislas wastes the promising position.
    • 45' Three minutes will be added as a result of Cole's injury, as Zola is furious after Franco goes down on the edge of the Burnley box, but referee Chris Foy sees nothing wrong with the challenge.
    • 43' GOAL!!! COLE MAKES IT THREE FROM THE SPOT! After moving gingerly for the last five minutes, Cole is suddenly sprightly as he takes the ball and sends Jensen the wrong way to make it three from the penalty spot!
    • 41' Penalty! Spector surges into the Burnley box at pace and is hauled down by Blake, with the referee having no hesitation in pointing to the spot! No complaints there from the Burnley players.
    • 37' Cole is back on the field but moving rather tentatively as West Ham press forward once more through the industrious Parker.
    • 35' Cole sustains a nasty knock! Jensen comes roaring out of goal and smothers the ball, taking out Cole in the process of a fair, but robust challenge. Cole limps off gingerly and we will see if he recovers.
    • 34' GOAL!!! STANISLAS MAKES IT TWO! Franco takes the ball down impeccably from Spector's throw in, before Stanislas fires a shot straight at Jensen and finds the bottom corner with the resulting rebound! West Ham are dominant!
    • 33' West Ham are keeping possession very effectively now and Burnley are harrying as much as possible but to no avail.
    • 33' Parker makes a forceful run through the Burnley half after Cole beats Carlisle to a loose ball, but the Hammers skipper fires the ball miles over the bar.
    • 31' Collison and Parker are performing superbly in midfield for West Ham and are the difference between the sides so far - they are simply winning everything in there.
    • 29' Bikey heads the ball into Fletcher's path, but the forward dallies with it inside the West Ham box for too long and the chance goes begging!
    • 27' Stanislas twists and turns before standing up a precise delivery to the back post which Franco heads narrowly wide with real venom - another good chance for the forward!
    • 25' Wade Elliott charges from nowhere to the edge of the West Ham box to collect Fletcher's lay-off, but he lashes a wild shot over the bar - that was a good opportunity.
    • 23' Franco almost latches on to a hopeful long ball by Gabbidon, with the ball bouncing just beyond the forward's outstretched right leg.
    • 21' Owen Coyle looks pensive in the Burnley dugout as he mulls over what to do next with his side trailing from Collison's goal.
    • 18' GOAL!!!! JACK COLLISON GIVES WEST HAM THE LEAD! The midfielder has looked threatening throughout for the hosts and, as Parker takes a quick free-kick on halfway and clips it forward, he takes it in his stride and slides the ball past Jensen!
    • 17' Da Costa makes an impeccably-timed challenge to deny Fletcher as the forward surges into the box after a neat exchange with Eagles on the edge of the West Ham box - that was almost a clear-cut chance for the visitors!
    • 15' Franco hits the bar for West Ham! Collison drives his way down the right and dinks up a delightful cross from outwide, which Franco heads powerfully against the crossbar!
    • 13' What an effort from Carlisle! The defender rises high to head Blake's corner on target but, with Green stranded, Gabbidon clears from off his own goalline to keep the game goalless!
    • 11' Bikey has the first shot on target after muscling his way past Da Costa and firing a low shot at Green, who parries the ball to safety, away from the onrushing Blake.
    • 10' Good chance for the hosts! Almost their first foray into the Burnley half ends with Collison gettting the byline down the right and squaring a pass back to Cole, but Caldwell is quickly there to intervene.
    • 9' West Ham have spent the whole of the opening passage of play inside their half with Burnley pressing high up the field.
    • 8 Bikey finds Blake outwide after a hefty challenge on Parker in a condensed midfield.
    • 7' Steve Clarke and Gianfranco Zola are already out on the touchline barking order at their side, with Owen Coyle doing likewise early on.
    • 5' Eagles looks lively for Burnley as Gabbidon makes a stern challenge for the hosts and breaks up the play.
    • 3' Fletcher and Eagles combine down the right for the visitors as West Ham are boxed into their half early on in this first half.
    • 1' The first half is underway at Upton Park with Burnley kicking us off in their change strip of white shirts and black shorts.
    • - The Hammers have conceded a divisional high four penalties this season, while either West Ham, their opponents, or both, have scored exactly two goals in the last seven Premier League games at Upton Park.
    • - Burnley have conceded 20 goals in five away games this season, an average of four per game. Only Hull have picked up as few points on the road as the Clarets this season (1).
    • - West Ham have conceded at least two goals in eight of their last nine league games. The Hammers have won a joint-league low one home game this season.
    • - West Ham: Green, Spector, Da Costa, Gabbidon, Ilunga, Collison, Kovac, Parker, Stanislas, Cole, Franco. Subs: Kurucz, Noble, Jimenez, Faubert, Nouble, Tomkins, Hines
    • - Burnley: Jensen, Mears, Carlisle, Caldwell, Jordan, Eagles, Alexander, Bikey, Blake, Elliott, Steven Fletcher. Subs: Penny, Kalvenes, Duff, McDonald, Gudjonsson, Nugent, Thompson
    • - Burnley have won none of the last nine meetings with West Ham in all competitions.
    • - Burnley, on the other hand, have drawn their last two games and are in 11th spot with Owen Coyle's side possessing a superb home record.
    • - Gianfranco Zola's side are loitering just above the relegation zone in 17th place, level on points with Bolton but with a superior goal difference.
    • - West Ham host Burnley in their Premier League clash at Upton Park looking to pull away from the bottom three.

  • Summary

    • 90+1' Eagles caps a fine display in midfield for Burnley with a tap-in from Bikey's cross and that is the visitors' third!
    • 89' Caldwell is shown a straight red card for hauling down Hines as a free kick is given on the edge of the area.
