WEST HAM BEAT BURNLEY 3-2 FOR DOUBLE PL JOY

West Ham defeated Burnley 3-2 at the London Stadium to win back-to-back Premier League games for the first time since February.

After falling behind in the first half, the home team tied the score just before the half ended and then won the game with two goals in the second half.

Nuno Espirito Santo, the manager of Hammer, selected the same starting lineup that overcame Newcastle the previous week in the hopes that they would win back-to-back games for the first time since February. Additionally, the Hammers hoped that Freddie Potts would improve on his performance as the game's MVP.

With a strong start, the home team was given a free kick right outside the area at the ten-minute mark. The task of trying to put the Hammers ahead fell to Captain Jarrod Bowens, but the Burnley wall easily stopped his attempt.

The Clarets had the opportunity to grab the lead five minutes later when they caught the Hammers off guard by deftly throwing the ball forward and then crossing low, but Zian Flemming missed the mark.

West Ham's attempted attacks were brilliantly broken up by Burnley, who were now controlling the midfield and attacking them when they had a break.

Burnley's counterattacking strategy was clearly working, as the Hammers had failed to generate a legitimate chance on goal halfway through the first half. In 36 minutes, Zian Flemming headed in the box after a cross from Lesley Ugochukwu to give the away team a well-earned lead.

A minute before halftime, Crysencio Summerville's solo run and low cross in the area was coolly touched in by Callum Wilson to give West Ham an equaliser. Burnley's goal undoubtedly rocked the team, causing them to respond like marching troops heading into battle.

The away team began the second half in the same manner as the first, continuing to assault West Ham. At minute fifty-five, Jaidon Anhtony had a chance to give them the lead again when he blasted over the bar from just beyond the box.

Then, in the 64th minute, key player Freddie Potts was substituted for Tomas Soucek due to a suspected hamstring injury, dealing the Hammers a severe blow.

The home crowd kept cheering on their team, and the louder they became, the more West Ham players came forward. In the 75th minute, replacement Soucek calmly tapped in from inside the box to give the Hammers the lead after Lucas Paqueta had crossed the ball.

The Hammers refused to sit back and hang onto their advantage, instead pressing forward in an attempt to get a third. Two minutes from the end, substitute Klye Walker-Peters scored from close range following a low cross to give the home team a well-earned victory.  

After a wonderful cross in injury time, Burnley captain Josh Cullen scrambled the ball into the net, giving the home team an anxious ending.

With the win, West Ham is currently tied with Burnley on points but is still in danger of going down.

BRUNO SALTOR OFFICIALLY JOINS TOTTENHAM AS ASSISTANT COACH FOR THE NORTH LONDON DERBY

Tottenham Confirm Bruno Saltor as Assistant Coach Under Igor Tudor

Tottenham Hotspur just shook up their coaching staff, bringing in Bruno Saltor, a guy who’s worked with Chelsea and West Ham in the past.

Saltor’s stepping in alongside interim boss Igor Tudor until the season wraps up. Spurs let go of Thomas Frank earlier this month, and, like Manchester United, they’ve decided to go with a temporary setup for now and figure out the bigger picture in the summer.

Tudor, who’s managed clubs like Marseille, Lazio, and Juventus, is set to take charge for the first time this weekend in the North London derby against Arsenal. Saltor will be in the dugout for his first Spurs match, too.

If you’ve followed Saltor’s career, you might know he’s often worked with Graham Potter. That’s how he ended up at both Chelsea and West Ham. When Potter left Chelsea in 2023, Saltor took over as interim head coach. His one match in charge ended in a 0-0 draw with Liverpool. Frank Lampard replaced him soon after, and Saltor stayed on as part of the coaching staff until Mauricio Pochettino arrived, at which point he moved on. He later reunited with Potter at West Ham but left when Potter did in September.

Tottenham’s official statement confirmed the news: “Following the arrival of Igor Tudor as Head Coach until the end of the season, we can now confirm the appointment of three additional coaches to our Men’s First Team coaching staff. We welcome Bruno Saltor as Igor's assistant coach." Born in El Masnou, Spain, Saltor started his playing career in his home country before joining Brighton in 2012. He made 235 appearances there over seven years, then moved into coaching with the Seagulls after retiring in 2019. Since then, he’s picked up experience at Chelsea and West Ham.

Along with Saltor’s appointment, Spurs also announced some departures. Justin Cochrane, John Heitinga, and Chris Haslam are all leaving the coaching staff after Frank’s exit. The club thanked them for their efforts and wished them well.

GLASNER OUT? CRYSTAL PALACE CONSIDERING IMMEDIATE EXIT FOR BOSS AFTER DISMAL EUROPEAN DRAW

Oliver Glasner’s exit is imminent! Discover why Robbie Keane has emerged as the favorite to lead Crystal Palace out of crisis.

Odds crash on Robbie Keane becoming the next Crystal Palace manager.

Oliver Glasner was supposed to stick around at Crystal Palace until the end of the season. That was the plan, anyway. But after another rough run of results, his exit could come a lot sooner.

Thursday night in Bosnia should’ve been nothing special, just a routine first leg against a team Palace should handle easily, with the real test back at Selhurst Park next week. Instead, a 1-1 draw against Zrinjski Mostar turned into another mess in a season that’s gotten uglier by the week for Glasner and Palace.

The travelling fans didn’t hide how they felt.

Palace have only managed one win in their last 15 games. That’s not a blip; it’s a full-on collapse, and it looks like Glasner’s time might be up even faster than everyone thought.

People at the top of the club have started openly asking if letting Glasner finish out his contract is actually hurting more than helping. He said back in January that he’d leave when his deal was up in the summer, but with results falling off a cliff and morale at rock bottom, those discussions have picked up speed.

Word is, Palace have already started looking for Glasner’s replacement, planning for a summer hire. But now, it looks like they might bring in his successor right away.

One name has shot straight to the top of the list: Robbie Keane.

TalkSPORT’s Alex Crook says Palace are considering Keane as a short-term fix if Glasner goes before the season ends. Keane’s reputation has soared lately. He won the Israeli Premier League with Maccabi Tel Aviv, then took the Hungarian league title in his first season at Ferencváros.

His win rate at Maccabi was over 73 per cent. He’s also done time as an assistant coach at Leeds and Middlesbrough. People who’ve played for him, like Ireland’s Callum O’Dowda, rave about him. O’Dowda said, “As soon as he opens his mouth, you want to listen. It’s phenomenal, really. On the coaching side,e he has been good.”

For now, Keane is still in charge at Ferencvaros, who are still in the Europa League, so prying him away won’t be simple.

Palace sit 13th in the Premier League, eight points clear of the relegation zone, but that gap feels less safe with every week they fail to win.

Tottenham even considered Keane as an interim manager before they went with Igor Tudor.
