Ex-West Ham star encouraged by Burnley draw

Football pundit Matthew Etherington has given his opinion after the Hammers played out to a 1-1 draw against Burnley on Saturday.

The Hammers took the lead during the game after Michail Antonio scored in the 19 minutes. The East London club were however put on the back foot after Andy Carroll was given a red card in the 27^th minute and Chris Wood eventually went on to draw equal for his side in the 85^th minute.

Etherington, who played for the Hammers during his playing days, was watching the game and gave his verdict on what he thought.

He tweeted,

Though the Hammers would have been hoping to win after they took the lead, they did well to gain a draw despite having been reduced to ten men for the majority of the game.

Manager Slaven Bilic will however be disappointed that his team could not hold on for just a few more minutes.
