Chelsea loanee David Datro Fofana scored a stunning goal to help Burnley earn a 2-2 draw at West Ham United in the Premier League on Sunday.

The 21-year-old Ivory Coast forward - who joined Burnley from Chelsea on a short-term deal in January - opened the scoring at the London Stadium by firing a brilliant shot into the top corner from 30 yards.

This was Fofana's third goal in seven games for Burnley.

Burnley led 2-0 at half-time thanks to Fofana's long-range rocket and an own goal by Konstantinos Mavropanos.

But Lucas Paqueta got the Hammers back into the contest by scoring his sixth goal of the season just 30 seconds after the interval .

Danny Ings then netted an added-time equalizer for West Ham, moments after he had seen another goal disallowed for a tight offside call.

Burnley have won only three EPL games all season. The Clarets now have 14 points from 28 matches, leaving them 10 points from safety.

Highlights: West Ham 2-2 Burnley
