They may have left it late, but West Ham earned another three points at the weekend as they beat Sunderland in the closing stages 1-0 at the London Stadium.
In truth, it was no less than the Hammers deserved with the Black Cats up against it for a lot of the game but it looked as though their rearguard action would grab them a point before Winston Reid’s late drive into the net past Jordan Pickford.
The relief on the faces of all connected with club was clear to see as the ball was struck home but, nevertheless, it’s made it two from two in the Hammers last couple of games after beating Crystal Palace by the same score-line.
Optimism and hope are beginning to grow around the club as they begin to show their true ability at last and of all that featured at the weekend, these two were the most impressive.
