Decisive figure rescues Burnley against West Ham United

Zian Flemming converted from the spot in the 83rd minute and then equalised in the second minute of second half stoppage time, earning Burnley a 2-2 draw against West Ham United.

The forward kept his cool from 12 yards after Marcus Edwards was felled, with Ollie Scarles penalised. That strike shifted momentum and put the Clarets on the front foot.

Deep into second half stoppage time, Flemming arrived to sweep in Max Alleyne's pass after a corner to deny the Hammers. It capped a relentless, penalty box display.

Flemming ended with nine attempts, four on target, and eight touches in the box. He also won possession twice in the attacking third, reflecting constant pressure on the visitors' defence.

The Clarets channelled late pressure through crosses and corners, and the Irons struggled to clear first contacts while Flemming's movement kept their back line uneasy.

Burnley visit West Bromwich Albion next in the Championship. The Irons host Charlton Athletic.
