BURNLEY made it six Premier League games unbeaten as Chris Wood rescued a point for the Clarets against 10-man West Ham.

The visitors had gone ahead on 19 minutes through Michail Antonio, who capitalised on a Ben Mee mistake, before Andy Carroll was sent off for 99 seconds of madness before the half hour, receiving two yellow cards for clashes with Mee and James Tarkowski.

Burnley piled on the pressure as they looked for a leveller and it arrived five minutes from time when Wood scored his fourth goal for the club.

Both goalkeepers had the chance to get their hands warm in the opening 10 minutes. Nick Pope fielded a tame Michail Antonio effort from 20 yards after he’d stolen possession from Jeff Hendrick, while at the other end Scott Arfield skipped inside Cheikhou Kouyate and tested Joe Hart with a low 25-yard drive, which the England man was equal to.

Hart was called into action again on 12 minutes, but Wood’s header from a Steven Defour cross was straight at him.

Despite the bright start Burnley found themselves behind inside 20 minutes in soft circumstances. Mee went to clear Joe Hart’s long clearance upfield but missed his kick, allowing Antonio to break clear and touch it round the advancing Pope before rolling home.

The Clarets responded well to that blow, with Defour and Robbie Brady firing shots over the bar from distance.

Then came Carroll’s two minutes of madness. The striker had been angered early in the game by what he felt was an elbow from Tarkowski. He gained a measure of revenge on 26 minutes, a foul which earned him a booking, before following it up with an elbow into the back of Ben Mee’s head. A second booking and a red card followed and while Carroll cut a furious figure as he left the pitch, he could have no complaints.

That dismissal led to the Clarets seeing plenty of the ball, but opening up West Ham was a difficult proposition, with the Hammers happy to sit back on their lead.

Jeff Hendrick blazed another long range effort over the bar while penalty appeals were turned down when Hart took some of the ball as well as Wood as he tried to latch on to Brady’s through ball.

In the closing stages of the first half Hart’s punch from a Stephen Ward cross was weak, but Defour fired over from the edge of the area.

Dyche made two changes at the break as Sam Vokes and Johann Berg Gudmundsson replaced Arfield and Hendrick, with the Clarets going back to 4-4-2.

It was the visitors who threatened early in the second half though, with Antonio inches away from getting a foot to Manuel Lanzini’s driven cross, but the Hernandez, Lanzini and Antonio were involved in a sweeping Hammers move which ended with the latter’s shot being pushed away by Pope.

The Clarets saw a Brady free-kick clip the top of the wall, while Matt Lowton was agonisingly close to getting on the end of Defour’s deep, in-swinging cross.

Burnley went even closer just after the hour when Gudmundsson cut inside before firing a low 25-yard drive against the post before the ball bounced against Hart and somehow spun back towards his hands.

The Hammers’ stopper was into the action again a couple of minutes later, holding on to Defour’s curling effort from 22 yards.

Burnley were piling the pressure on and they made it pay on 85 minutes. Substitute Gudmundsson was the architect, beating his man down the right before standing up a cross that was asking for Wood to head home, with the New Zealand striker duly obliging.
