Pressure piles on Scott Parker as West Ham sink Burnley

For Burnley this felt like the beginning of their Premier League farewell tour, but Scott Parker insists he will not walk away, while West Ham reignited their fight for survival. Crysencio Summerville and Taty Castellanos expertly finished from two perfect assists to send West Ham to victory, leaving them three points adrift of Nottingham Forest in 17th, the last place above the relegation spots, as they bounced back from a late loss at Chelsea.

Burnley showed fight, but a 16th straight game without a win, including 11 defeats, brought derision from the home supporters and demands for change in the dugout and boardroom. “I’m a fighter and I’ve experienced a lot of things in my life and I’ve been through a lot of adversity and I’ve been through a lot of challenges,” Parker said.
