Burnley and West Ham draw 2-2 in Championship opener

Overview

Burnley and West Ham United opened their 2026-27 EFL Championship campaigns with a 2-2 draw at Turf Moor.

West Ham United, managed by Nuno Espirito Santo, initially appeared to be in control during the first half, securing a 2-0 lead through goals from Max Kilman and Manor Solomon. However, the team suffered a late collapse, conceding twice to Burnley’s Zian Flemming. Flemming scored first from a penalty and then secured the equalizer in stoppage time. Despite being bookmakers’ favorites for immediate promotion, the match exposed West Ham’s previously noted lack of squad depth.

Burnley, led by manager Nicky Hayen, secured the point through a resilient comeback. This result marks a significant start for both clubs as they compete for a return to the Premier League following their relegation last season.
