West Ham 5 - 1 Burnley- This was an easy match for West Ham as they eased past Burnley. Hitzlsperger made his debut with a goal scoring a powerful shot in the 23rd min. For the rest of the first half Burnley had chances against an weakish defense. Rodriguez and Wallace had shots which nearly went in but the brilliance of Green saved West Ham.
The second half was much better for West Ham as they took charge of the match. Cole scored 2 goals in the first 5 mins in the second half which finished the game as a contest. If there was any doubt Reid scored 59 mins. Rodriguez scored a consolation which they deserved at the 71st min. Sears scored a late goal in injury time from 15 yards out. It was a good victory for the second bottom side in the prem.
