It’s A Rocket: Chelsea Loanee David Datro Fofana Scores Breathtaking Goal for Burnley in Draw Against West Ham

In a thrilling Premier League match on Sunday, Chelsea loanee David Datro Fofana showcased his talent by scoring a sensational goal to secure a 2-2 draw for Burnley against West Ham United.

 

The 21-year-old forward from Ivory Coast, who joined Burnley on a short-term deal from Chelsea in January, made a significant impact at the London Stadium. Fofana opened the scoring with a remarkable strike from 30 yards, placing the ball perfectly into the top corner of the net.

 

This impressive goal marked Fofana’s third goal in just seven games for Burnley since his arrival. With Fofana’s long-range rocket and an own goal by Konstantinos Mavropanos, Burnley held a commanding 2-0 lead at halftime.

 

However, West Ham quickly fought back as Lucas Paqueta found the back of the net just 30 seconds into the second half, reducing the deficit to 2-1. The tension grew in the closing moments of the match, with Danny Ings scoring a dramatic equalizer for West Ham in added time. Notably, Ings had previously seen a goal disallowed due to a tight offside call.

 

Burnley’s season has been challenging, with only three wins in the Premier League so far. The draw against West Ham earned them a valuable point, bringing their total to 14 points from 28 matches. However, they remain 10 points away from the safety zone, highlighting the uphill battle they face to avoid relegation.
