Thursday 15 December 2016 00:09, UK
Mark Noble's first-half strike was enough for West Ham to secure a vital 1-0 victory over Burnley at the London Stadium on Wednesday night.
After impressing in the weekend draw at Liverpool, the pressure was on the Hammers' players to beat a Burnley side who don't travel well, making for a tense night in the East End.
Noble settled some of those nerves when he scored from the rebound, after his own penalty had been saved, in first-half stoppage time, with Tom Heaton mightily unlucky.
The second half saw the visitors press for an equaliser, adding to the anxious feeling around the stadium, with Sam Vokes guilty of missing Burnley's best opening from point-blank range.
The Hammers held on for only their third home win of the season, one that seems them climb to 16th in the league table. Burnley remain in 13th.
