  Wood’s landmark goal not enough to end winless home run as happy Hammers close in on Europe

 Chris Wood’s 150th goal in English football wasn’t enough to cure the Clarets’ bout of homesickness as they were made to wait for another Turf Moor win.

 Wood struck his seventh goal in as many games and 11th of the season to give Burnley an early lead from the penalty spot.

 But rather than lay the platform for a first home victory since January, a quick-fire double in response from Michail Antonio was enough to give the Hammers a big - and deserved - win of their own in their pursuit of European football.

 The Clarets’ interest remains at the other end of the table and with four games to go Sean Dyche’s men remain nine points clear of Fulham and the bottom three.

 And while Antonio’s double means the Clarets have now gone eight home games without a win in the top flight for the first time in over half a century, the five draws they have eked out in that sequence means Premier League safety remains within touching distance as they prepare to go Fulham next Monday night.

The better team took the 3 points there was no doubt about that, we gave the ball away too many times and allowed them to get down the wings and get their crosses in too easily.
Jay could have secured a point for us late on but shot wildly wide, but not to worry onwards we go.

Fulham up next.

Wolves never turned up, West Ham did, and we felt the difference. As FC says, the best team won, no complaints from me, that's the way it should be.

The midfield needs much attention during the close season.

Fulham next. Hopefully, we don't give them a whiff of survival.
