West Ham 0-1 Burnley: Jay Rodriguez header leaves David Moyes' men mired in Premier League relegation battle

Jay Rodriguez headed in the only goal as Burnley inflicted defeat on relegation-threatened West Ham United on Wednesday evening.

The Clarets took the lead on 38 minutes at the London Stadium, and Michail Antonio almost provided an immediate response, but struck the outside of the post after racing through on goal.

Chris Wood thought he had wrapped up all three points when he found the net on 76 minutes, but the forward was declared offside by VAR.
