Ten-man Sunderland came from two goals down at the Stadium of Light to snatch a deserved draw and deny West Ham a first Premier League win since the opening day of the season. Things looked bleak for the hosts when goals from Guillermo Franco - his first for the club - and the impressive Carlton Cole put the Hammers two up. But Andy Reid’s superb free-kick gave them hope and, after Kenwyne Jones had seen red in first-half stoppage time, Kieran Richardson tapped home a cross from the returning Darren Bent to equalise.

West Ham also finished the game a man light after Radoslav Kovac was sent off late on. (more…)

Striker James Beattie’s first goals of the season earned Stoke a 2-1 victory at home to West Ham. The burly forward scored his opener from an 11th-minute penalty, only for Matthew Upson to head an equaliser before the interval. However, Beattie had the last word when he forced home Ricardo Fuller’s cross at the far post with 20 minutes to go.

Those goals ended a run of four Premier League matches, which included successive home defeats to Chelsea and Manchester United, without a win for the Potters. (more…)
