West Ham defender Coufal: Burnley draw difficult to explain

West Ham defender Vladimír Coufal insists there's positives to draw from their 2-2 draw with Burnley.

The Hammers fought back from 2-0 down to fight-back to draw 2-2.

Coufal told whufc.com: “It's a difficult game to explain.

“The first half was absolutely disastrous for us. Sometimes the opponent can overplay you, but we didn't deal with Burnley well enough before the break.

“The second half was a lot more like how we want to play, and I think we can take a lot from that performance into our next run of games.

“We were brave and positive in our play. It doesn't matter if someone makes a mistake - mistakes happen - but we're all there to help each other and I think we showed that towards the end, which helped us get the equaliser.

“We have a big game coming up on Thursday, and hopefully we can continue in that spirit. If we do that, and we have the full backing of our supporters, I'm confident we can get the job done."
