From 1889 to 1965 it formed part of the County Borough of West Ham. 2 TEN-MAN Sunderland came from two goals down at the Stadium of Light to snatch a deserved draw and deny West Ham a first Barclays Premier League win since the opening day of the season.

Determination West Ham also finished the game a man light after Radoslav Kovac was sent off late on. The draw was no less than Steve Bruce's side deserved for a performance of real determination in an end-to-end second period and they might even had won it had leading scorer Bent taken one of the numerous chances that came his way. The striker came close to marking his return from injury with a goal in the sixth minute as well as Robert Green keeping the visitors in front with two quickfire saves. First the goalkeeper pushed Bent's low shot behind for a corner and then superbly parried Michael Turner's header from the set piece. The ten men were then fired up and Bent should have levelled in the 51st minute. The former Tottenham forward turned inside a defender in the right of the area, but as Green came out could only blaze his left-footed effort high and wide. The momentum was with the hosts and Richardson pulled Sunderland level in the 76th minute. Bent's cross from the right was deflected off Upson and looped high over the head of Green to the back post where the unmarked Richardson was on hand to help it home. West Ham were reduced to ten men in the 87th minute when Kovac was sent off, having picked up a second yellow for a foul on Bent. |
