West Ham's Pellegrini: We could have won by four more goals
Burnley goalkeeper Joe Hart (20) reacts after West Ham United's Felipe Anderson (not in picture) scores his side's third goal of the game

West Ham ran out rightful winners of this highly entertaining game yesterday, though they could easily have scored another four or five.

The home side totally dominated the first half, going one up on 10 minutes when Marko Arnautovic dispossessed James Tarkowski, moving on to drive the ball under Joe Hart.

Hart was to have a busy afternoon, pulling off a string of fine saves, including one at the feet of Felipe Anderson, after he had played a one-two with Arnautovic.
