admin“9/10 Display, Simply Brilliant” — West Ham Star Stuns Sky Sports Pundit While Fans Fume Over 3/10 Rating | Player Ratings vs Burnley
Callum Wilson Shines as West Ham Edge Past Burnley in Premier League Thriller
Nuno Espirito Santo will surely be pleased with Callum Wilson’s performance as West Ham secured a 3-2 victory over Burnley in the Premier League on Saturday.
The London Stadium hosted Scott Parker’s side on 8 November, with the Hammers entering the game as favourites following their win against Newcastle United. Meanwhile, the Burnley fans made their feelings about club ownership clear, providing David Sullivan with a front-row seat to the protests.
Burnley took the lead in the 35th minute through Zian Flemming, but Wilson ensured West Ham went into halftime on level terms, scoring just before the break.
Wilson’s Impact
Wilson has had a challenging start to his West Ham career, struggling for consistent minutes under Espirito Santo. His pay-as-you-play contract appeared to limit opportunities, but the England international has recently shown promising form. Against Burnley, he justified his place in the starting XI with a goal before being substituted in the 70th minute.
With Nicklas Fullkrug potentially returning soon, Espirito Santo may still favour Wilson after his impressive display, especially as the Hammers fight to avoid relegation.
Key Contributions from Soucek and Walker-Peters
Tomas Soucek added West Ham’s second goal in the 87th minute, which in turn set up Kyle Walker-Peters to net the third, completing the 3-2 win for the East London side.
Lucas Paqueta Frustrates Fans
Lucas Paqueta will miss the next game against Bournemouth due to suspension after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season against Burnley. The Brazilian midfielder struggled to make an impact, committing fouls and eventually being booked in the 25th minute.
Despite his undeniable talent, Paqueta’s frustrations often get the better of him, a trait on display against the Clarets. Yet he did provide a key contribution with the cross that led to Soucek’s goal in the 77th minute.
