"West Ham's survival bid gathered more pace when Crysencio Summerville brilliantly headed them in front with an early goal against Sunderland. The Hammers went into the game looking to record back-to-back wins in the Premier League after ending a 10-game winless run in their last game away at Tottenham. Nerves were palpable at the London Stadium with this game such a huge one for their hopes of survival and an unconvincing start for the hosts only made matters worse."
"But after growing into the contest, there was lift-off in East London when Summerville scored for the second successive game in the 14th minute. After Jarrod Bowen drove at the defence on the right, the skipper played a teasing cross for someone to attack in the middle and the man to meet it was Summerville, who rose well to crash a header past Robin Roefs."
Crysencio Summerville headed West Ham in front in the 14th minute, scoring for the second successive game by meeting Jarrod Bowen's cross and heading past Robin Roefs. The goal boosted West Ham's push for Premier League survival and could move them within two points of 17th-placed Nottingham Forest. West Ham pursued back-to-back wins after ending a 10-game winless run with an away victory at Tottenham but had not won at the London Stadium since early November. Nuno Espirito Santo selected an unchanged starting XI with new arrivals Pablo and Taty, while Lucas Paqueta was absent amid transfer speculation. Sunderland were without Granit Xhaka, with Trai Hume moving into midfield, and had Habib Diarra and Chemsdine Talbi return from AFCON to the bench.
