Michail Antonio’s winner for West Ham leaves Sunderland stuck in trouble

Sam Allardyce returned to Upton Park looking to prove a point but, despite a series of second-half chances, Sunderland could not come away with one. This was a low-key affair, bereft of the fire and brimstone the former West Ham manager might have enjoyed, and it was a moment of slackness from his defence that helped win the game for an under-par home side. Patrick van Aanholt’s 30th-minute gift to Michail Antonio proved costly and, while the …
