West Ham had to settle for a point after failing to find a way past Burnley’s Nick Pope in a goalless draw at Turf Moor.
The East Londoners edged the fixture, registering three shots on target from their 59% possession.
The Clarets did register a chance of their own through Chris Wood, but his header from Dwight McNeil’s early corner.
The England international goalkeeper was called into action in the 26th minute, keeping out Issa Diop’s header from close range.
Declan Rice and Tomas Soucek both had efforts go over the crossbar before Pope denied Jarrod Bowen as the match drew to a close.

Did you know?
Since their return to the Premier League in 2016, the Clarets have been involved in 19 goalless draws in the competition – only Brighton and Southampton (both 20) have had more 0-0s in the division since 2016-17.
The Hammers have picked up just five points from the last 15 available in the league (W1 D2 L2), this coming after a run of four wins from the five matches beforehand.
Sean Dyche’s sides’ tally of just one victory from their opening 15 league games is their lowest tally at this stage of a top-flight season since 1970-71, when the Clarets went on to be relegated.
The Turf Moor outfit have failed to score in three consecutive Premier League games for the first time since their final three matches of last season.
Only against Crystal Palace (39) in August have David Moyes’ side had more touches in their opponent’s box in a Premier League match this season than their 37 today against Burnley.
