West Ham beat Burnley 3-2 in the Premier League, with Soucek scoring and assisting after replacing Potts.

West Ham earned a 3-2 Premier League win over Burnley, their first back-to-back victories since February, fueled by substitute Tomas Soucek’s goal and assist after coming on for Freddie Potts, who left with a dead leg. Manager Nuno Espirito Santo praised Soucek, calling him a “nightmare” to face but a “dream” to manage, highlighting his composure and ability to find space. Callum Wilson equalized at halftime, and Soucek’s late goal—following a save by Martin Dubravka—proved decisive, though Josh Cullen pulled one back for Burnley after a mistake by goalkeeper Alphonse Areola. Burnley manager Scott Parker criticized his team’s discipline and focus, calling the loss a missed opportunity, while fans protested against West Ham’s ownership ahead of the match. The result leaves both teams level on points near the relegation zone.
