Burnley 0-0 West Ham: Hammers remain in the Champions League spots while the hosts cannot pull themselves out of the Premier League relegation zone after goalless draw

Daily Mail | December 12, 2021

A lack of goals threatens to thwart the respective ambitions of both Burnley and West Ham at either end of the Premier League table.

West Ham dream of Champions League football but with Michail Antonio on a scoreless run of eight matches, David Moyes needs backing in the January transfer window to keep them there despite beating Chelsea last weekend.

Burnley's problems are even more acute. They've won only once all season, haven't scored in the last three and for all their effort on Sunday, their only shot on target arrived after 75 minutes.
