Postmatch editorial

The pre-match tension never quite broke

The final score was Burnley 2-2 West Ham United. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

The late equaliser came from Zian Flemming 90+2', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Burnley led Shots on target 5-2, even though the scoreboard went another way. Burnley also shaded Total shots 17-11.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made West Ham United the favourite at 44.2% implied probability. That market lean missed.
