"Sunderland did, however, make a positive start when Noah Sadiki's fierce half-volley forced Alphonse Areola to spring into action, but the Hammers quickly settled into the game. And Summerville's towering header put the Hammers into a 14th-minute lead, with his third goal in as many league games brilliantly set up by Bowen down the right-hand side. Bowen then doubled the Hammers' lead from the penalty spot with a composed finish from 12 yards after Ollie Scarles was tripped by the outstretched leg of Trai Hume."
"However, Sunderland improved after the break and pulled a goal back in the 66th minute through Brian Brobbey, who expertly nodded Nordi Mukiele's cross past Areola. The Black Cats then saw Luke O'Nien's attempted cross hit the woodwork before Tomas Soucek had a goal ruled out in stoppage time for a foul on Robin Roefs, just moments after Fernandes had rattled the crossbar with another sensational effort from distance."
West Ham moved closer to Premier League safety with a 3-1 victory over Sunderland at London Stadium, propelled by three first-half goals from Crysencio Summerville, Jarrod Bowen and Mateus Fernandes. Summerville opened the scoring in the 14th minute after Bowen's assist, and Bowen doubled the lead from the penalty spot following a foul on Ollie Scarles. Fernandes completed the first-half rout with a 30-yard strike into the top-left corner in the 43rd minute. Sunderland improved after halftime, with Brian Brobbey reducing the deficit in the 66th minute, and nearly forced a late comeback as Luke O'Nien hit the woodwork and a Soucek goal was ruled out in stoppage time.
