Cornet misses penalty as managerless Burnley draw at West Ham


Managerless Burnley began life after Sean Dyche with a 1-1 draw at West Ham after Clarets winger Maxwel Cornet missed a first-half penalty at the London Stadium.

The relegation-threatened side, who sacked Dyche on Friday after a decade in charge, took the lead through Wout Weghorst (33), just three minutes after midfielder Ashley Westwood had been stretchered off following a serious injurythat caused a lengthy delay.

Cornet then missed his penalty in stoppage time in the first half after he was brought down by West Ham goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski when through one-on-one.

The Ivorian was made to pay for his miss when Tomas Soucek equalised in the 74th minute, shouldering in Manuel Lanzini's free-kick.

Burnley, under the temporary charge of U23 coach Mike Jackson, held on thanks to two great saves from goalkeeper Nick Pope.
