Sunderland manager Roy Keane takes his seat knowing a win will see them move above West Ham in the table

The Hammers, however, take an eighth-minute lead when George McCartney's cross is headed home by Carlton Cole

Often at the centre things, Lee Bowyer finds himself having words with Liam Miller as they battle for control of midfield

McCartney attempts to cause more problems for the visitors' defence but Kenwyne Jones and Danny Collins keep him out

The Black Cats shade first-half possession but have little more than Grant Leadbitter's yellow card to show for it

Five minutes after the break though they are level thanks to Jones' powerful header from Leadbitter's corner

Michael Chopra looks for a breakthrough as Sunderland enjoy a period of domination that sees them go close several times

Their failure to score is punished when Nolberto Solano's 78th-minute shot hits the post and goes in off Craig Gordon

With the game into injury time, Craig Bellamy prods home Luis Boa Morte's low cross to seal a 3-1 win for the hosts
