West Ham defeated Burnley 2-0, a result that allowed the team to break a streak of 21 consecutive games conceding goals in the Premier League. At the end of the match, coach Nuno Espírito Santo expressed satisfaction with his team's performance, which marked the fourth victory in the last five matches, three of them in the English league. In statements to BBC Sport, the Portuguese coach highlighted the importance of the win. "It was important to react after the previous game [a 2-3 defeat at Stamford Bridge], and the boys did a fantastic job today. We were solid and strong in our area," said NES. The Hammers' coach also praised the support from the fans and emphasized the need to maintain focus. "We are still in the same situation; we need to focus on ourselves. We have to try to bring this energy to the London Stadium. Our fans were helping the team; it was great to see," he added, focusing on winning against Manchester United. One of the standout players of the match was Crysencio Summerville, who received high praise from his coach. "He is playing incredibly, not only for the work he does in scoring and assisting but also for how he moves on the field and helps the defense. He is in a good moment," he commented, noting that the Colombian has scored in five consecutive league games. "We were very precise in our offensive area; that makes a big difference. If we are solid in defense, with the talent we have up front, we can do good things. They showed character, showed willingness, and commitment. As long as we play like we did today, we will be fine," he concluded. West Ham is just three points behind Nottingham Forest, the former team of the Portuguese coach and the first team above the relegation zone.
