West Ham’s dominance looked like it was going to go unrewarded up until the fourth minute of injury time when the ball was fed into Winston Reid’s feet on the edge of the box.
The centre-back was uncharacteristically calm and composed when offered a shooting opportunity and arrowed a low, driven effort through several bodies and into the far corner of Jordan Pickford’s net to hand the Hammers a 1-0 win over Sunderland at the London Stadium.
Slaven Bilic’s men had an incredible 30 attempts at goal this afternoon, but just five on target which would suggest that there’s still work to be done in creating clear-cut opportunities for Simone Zaza who is still without a goal.
Nevertheless, the Hammers got a win and have now picked up seven points from the last nine available and are moving up the table. Here are our player ratings from today’s win.
