Burnley's bid for a Premier League lifeline has come to an end, as West Ham United emerged victorious in a tense encounter at Turf Moor. The Hammers' 2-1 triumph leaves the Clarets reeling and uncertain about their future in England's top tier.
The match is now into extra time, with neither side able to find a way past each other during the first 45 minutes of play. West Ham's pressure has been relentless, but Burnley goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell has done enough to keep his team in the game so far.
In the opening stages of the second half, Burnley created some promising chances, but West Ham's defense held firm. The Hammers responded with a flurry of attacks, but were unable to find the breakthrough they needed.
With 15 minutes remaining, West Ham finally broke the deadlock through Jarrod Bowen's well-placed shot from outside the box. The visitors took the lead and Burnley struggled to respond.
In stoppage time, however, Chris Mepham's own goal leveled the score at 1-1 before the end of regular time. As we head into extra time, neither side has been able to find a winner, with West Ham dominating possession but unable to create clear-cut chances.

I mean, I get it, stay in the league is a big deal, but do we really need this level of stress for our football fans?! 
And Jarrod Bowen's goal was just so lucky, you know? Like, where was he supposed to be?! 
. I mean Burnley's had some great seasons and have consistently punched above their weight. They shouldn't be in this situation. The fact that it's come down to this kind of match where anything can happen... it just highlights how unpredictable the league is.
. But sometimes you gotta credit your players when they step up and make big plays like Jarrod Bowen did in that second half. The way they've been able to weather Burnley's storm so far has been impressive.
. We'll have to wait and see how this one goes down...
... or maybe not, because that goal from Bowen was a real scorcher 
... and what's up with Chris Mepham? Own goals are just the worst 
... ugh, my brain is all over the place today 
their fight to stay in the Premier League was so inspiring 
I know it's all part of the game and teams have ups & downs, but man that was a nail-biter of a match 
I hope they learn from this experience and come back stronger next season 
west ham played such a great game, their pressure was intense 
i still can't believe chris mepham scored an own goal though 
what a turn of events! now we're headed into extra time and it's anyone's game 
do u think burnley has a chance to come back or is west ham gonna take the win? 
. Guess it was just meant to be West Ham's day 
. Still, gotta respect Burnley's fight – that Chris Mepham own goal is insane 
!
. I mean, I love watching football, but sometimes I feel like the teams are just throwing it against the wall and seeing what sticks 
. Anyways, Burnley's gotta regroup and figure out what's going on... and West Ham's got the win! 
. It's gonna be tough for them to drop down a division, I hope they find a way to stay up 
burnley need a win so bad right now 
west ham was on point tho, bowen's goal was a game changer 
Burnley's season just went from bad to worse... I mean, what can you say? They played so well in the beginning of the season, and now it seems like they've fallen apart. 
Jarrod Bowen's shot was a beauty!
