Fourth-placed West Ham United were held to a 0-0 draw at lowly Burnley in the Premier League on Sunday with home keeper Nick Pope earning his side a point.

West Ham were the more dangerous side throughout and Declan Rice went close with a fierce strike and although Burnley exerted late pressure, they failed to trouble visiting keeper Lukasz Fabianski.
