Match summary

Goals by Toni Martinez and Martin Samuelsen ensured West Ham United returned to winning ways with a 2-1 victory at Sunderland.

Having suffered back-to-back PL2 defeats the Hammers were looking for a return to form and it duly arrived thanks to two first-half strikes.

Martinez gave the visitors the lead on 20 minutes when he headed in Ben Johnson’s cross.

Samuelsen doubled their advantage when he cut in from the wing, exchanged passes with Martinez, and beat Michael Would.

Sunderland, featuring Duncan Watmore up front, pulled a goal back on 36 minutes through Luke Molyneux but Terry Westley’s side held on for a win that lifts them to fifth place in Division 1. The Black Cats lie 10th.
