West Ham fans protest as Hammers fight back to beat Burnley 3–2 in relegation clash

West Ham overcame early setbacks and fan unrest to secure a 3–2 comeback win over Burnley at London Stadium, moving level with their relegation rivals on points.

Before kickoff, 10,000 supporters marched through Stratford carrying a coffin to protest the club’s ownership, but the mood shifted when Callum Wilson equalised before halftime after Burnley’s Zian Flemming opener.

Substitute Tomas Soucek sparked the turnaround, scoring one and setting up another as Kyle Walker-Peters netted his first league goal since 2022.

Despite a late Josh Cullen strike after an Alphonse Areola error, the Hammers held on for a vital victory in their second consecutive win under Nuno Espirito Santo.
