Hammers pile on the gloom for their former keeper

Burnley again fought hard, often giving hope but falling to tired legs.

Felipe Anderson scored twice to finally show West Ham fans he might yet be worth the stunning £42million they paid for him.

Pellegrini said: “This is what I always expected from him.

“He has had a slow start adapting to the Premier League but you saw today what he can do.”

Arnautovic always catches the eye, but star billing should go to 20-year-old Congo-born, London-raised academy winger Grady Diangana.

He is a star in the making and inspired West Ham to end a run of three successive defeats.

“It’s nice we can produce this kind of talent,” said Pellegrini. “I am delighted for him.”

Dyche said: “It was crazy in the end, I am not happy conceding lots of goals. No drama, I’m not going to start crying, unless I am watching Bambi. It’s not going right for us at the moment but we will get out of it.”

Arnautovic, limping from a previous tackle from James Tarkowski, got his own back in the 10th minute. He robbed the Burnley defender and struck the ball past Hart.

Anderson was denied a 31stminute goal by outstanding work by Ben Mee, who somehow raced back and arched his body to head the Brazilian’s chip over while under his own bar.

Referee Roger East incredibly waved away a shoo-in Hammers penalty when Diangana was fouled by Steven Defour.

Out of nowhere, Burnley equalised. Ashley Westwood slipped a pass to Johan Berg Gudmundsson to score on the stroke of half-time.

Anderson restored West Ham’s lead in the 68th minute, only for Chris Wood to make it 2-2. But Anderson grabbed his second before sub Javier Hernandez rounded it off in added time.
