Burnley produced a remarkable late comeback to rescue a 2-2 draw against West Ham in a dramatic Championship opener.
For most of the match, it looked like West Ham were heading towards an impressive victory. The Hammers built a two-goal advantage and appeared to have the game under control.
Max Kilman opened the scoring before Manor Solomon added another, putting West Ham in a commanding position.
Burnley, however, refused to give up.
As the match entered its final stages, the home side began pushing harder and putting West Ham under increasing pressure.
Zian Flemming became the hero of the comeback.
The Burnley forward first pulled one goal back from the penalty spot, giving the home supporters renewed hope. Suddenly, what had looked like a comfortable West Ham victory became a nervous finish.
Then came the moment that changed everything.
Flemming struck again in stoppage time to complete the comeback and send Turf Moor into celebration.
A few minutes earlier, Burnley had looked beaten. By the final whistle, they were celebrating a point that felt almost like a victory.
For West Ham, the result will be incredibly frustrating. Having built a two-goal lead, the Hammers will look back at the final stages and wonder how they allowed Burnley back into the match.
The draw also highlighted the difficulty of competing in the Championship. West Ham may have Premier League experience and plenty of talented players, but nothing is guaranteed in a division where games can change in an instant.
Burnley, meanwhile, can take plenty of positives from their fightback.
They showed character, kept believing and eventually got their reward.
The two teams leave the opening weekend with a point each, but their feelings could not be more different.
