Burnley 2-2 West Ham – Clarets fight back to draw in Championship
16 August 2026Zian Flemming scored two late goals – including a stoppage-time equaliser – as Burnley came back from two down to snatch a point against West Ham in Nicky Hayen’s first Championship match as Clarets boss.
The Hammers seemed on course for victory when Manor Solomon added to Max Kilman’s header to make it 2-0 with 18 minutes remaining.
But Flemming pulled a goal back from the penalty spot with seven minutes remaining when Ollie Scarles fouled Marcus Edwards in the box.
And Flemming struck again in the 92nd minute after the visitors failed to clear a corner.
Burnley were bright throughout, Flemming hooking an effort over from Jacob Bruun Larsen’s cross and Aaron Ramsey shooting wide before reality hit in the 10th minute.
Skipper Jarrod Bowen swung over a corner to the back post, where Kilman shrugged off Ramsey’s weak attempt to mark him to head home. It was far too easy for West Ham as Burnley hit the well-worn self-destruct button again.
Back came the Clarets and Flemming’s header hit the far post, before the Dutch striker saw another header cleared off the line.
