WATCH Sam Vokes misses glorious chance to equalise against West Ham
Wednesday 14 December 2016 23:58, UK
Sam Vokes missed a golden chance to equalise as he headed over with the goal gaping in Burnley's 1-0 defeat at West Ham.
West Ham took the lead in first-half stoppage time through Mark Noble, but were put under the cosh by the Clarets after the break.
That pressure added to the anxious feeling around the London Stadium, with Vokes at the centre of everything, as he missed a guilt-edged chance to equalise.
It all started from a brilliant run from Scott Arfield which carried him into the box, Darren Randolph blocked his goalbound effort, the loose ball bounced up, Vokes charged in, but headed over with the goal gaping.
Burnley continued to throw everything at the hosts, but they couldn't find only a second away goal of the season.
The Hammers held on for only their third home win of the season, one that sees them climb to 16th in the league table. Burnley remain in 13th.
