West Ham United v Sunderland: half-time report

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.
