Burnley frustrated by West Ham

At the London Stadium, Burnley blew a two-goal lead as Ings' last-gasp equaliser left his old club frustrated. Vincent Kompany's side climbed above Sheffield United to 19th place, but it was small consolation for squandering three points in their desperate fight for survival.

David Datro Fofana's long-range strike and an own goal by Konstantinos Mavropanos put Burnley in control by half-time. But Lucas Paqueta reduced the deficit immediately after the interval and former Burnley striker Ings levelled in the closing minutes with a clinical finish from Mohammed Kudus' pass.

Burnley are 10 points from safety with 10 games left. Nottingham Forest failed to pull away from relegation danger as they slumped to a 1-0 defeat at Brighton. Andrew Omobamidele's first-half own goal ended Brighton's three-match winless league run to lift them to eighth place.

Fourth-bottom Forest felt aggrieved that Brighton midfielder Jakub Moder avoided a 67th-minute red card for a lunging challenge on Neco Williams. But Nuno Espirito Santo's men are precariously poised just three points above the relegation zone.
