West Ham United locked horns with Burnley at Turf Moor earlier today as they focused on securing all three points away from home. The Hammers were solid in the first half but struggled to make the decisive breakthrough. The East London outfit went into the half-time interval with a goalless scoreline.
It was a similar story in the second 45 minutes as both teams canceled each other out. The contest finished with David Moyes’ men being held to a 0-0 draw at Lancashire.
Let’s take a look at how each West Ham player performed during the match against the Clarets.
GK: Łukasz Fabiański – 7/10
The Polish goalie had to make just one save in the game and secured an easy clean sheet on the road.
RB: Vladimír Coufal – 6.5/10
He got stuck in with a few solid tackles but was a bit sloppy on the ball.
CB: Craig Dawson – 7/10
Dawson won multiple aerial duels during the game and cleared his lines when in danger of being exposed at the back.
CB: Issa Diop – 7/10
He made some important clearances inside his half and performed well enough defensively to earn the shutout.
