West Ham Beat Burnley Piling Pressure On Scott Parker

Crysencio Summerville and Taty Castellanos scored first-half goals as West Ham beat Burnley 2-0 at Turf Moor, leaving the home side rooted to the bottom of the Premier League table. The result piles further pressure on Burnley head coach Scott Parker, whose side have now gone 16 matches without a win, including 11 defeats.

Summerville opened the scoring in the 12th minute after Lucas Pires gave the ball away, with Mateus Fernandes providing a precise pass for the winger to dink over Martin Dúbravka. Castellanos doubled the lead from a El Hadji Malick Diouf cross, heading home despite being marked. Burnley improved after the break but failed to find the net, with West Ham goalkeeper Marcus Edwards making key saves to preserve the clean sheet.

Parker insisted he will not resign, stating, "I'm a fighter... in these moments of pure adversity, I will not waver. I will always stand up and represent that to this group." However, home fans chanted for his dismissal and called for boardroom changes, reflecting widespread discontent. West Ham manager Nuno Espírito Santo acknowledged the win shows improvement but stressed the team remain in a relegation battle.
