West Ham United v Sunderland: half-time report
- by Matthew O'Greel
- Sunday, 21st October 2007
A Carlton Cole goal is the difference between the two sides in this afternoon's Premier League fixture.
The big striker - only playing due to the absence of the injured Dean Ashton - headed home a George McCartney cross after only eight minutes to record his first goal of the season, and give the Hammers the lead in front of a packed Boleyn Ground.Although chances have been few and far between, Alan Curbishley's side are well worth their lead, having restricted their newly-promoted opponents to the odd half chance.
More to follow at the final whistle.
