Comments:

League position: 9th West Ham United had now only won two of their 13 league games since Christmas Day; five draws, six lost. Adrian made his 50th appearance in the Premier League. Joey O'Brien replaced Diafra Sakho in the first minute of added time in the second half.

Comments:

League position: 17th This was new manager Dick Advocaat's first match in charge of Sunderland. The 67 year-old was the seventh Dutchman to manage a Premier League club and the fifth to lose their opening game. The Black Cats had now won just one of their last 13 Premier League matches; four draws, eight lost. They now remained winless in their last seven away league matches. Adam Johnson played for the first time after the club lifted his suspension that followed his recent arrest for a non-footballing offence.
