West Ham 0-0 Sunderland Stats and Highlights
Sunderland earned only their third away league point of the season following an uninspiring draw against fellow strugglers West Ham at Upton Park.
Jozy Altidore was through on the Hammers’ goal early on but had his shot saved by keeper Jussi Jaaskelainen.
A 25-yard shot from Black Cats defender Phil Bardsley came off the crossbar before Jaaskelainen fended away a long-range Lee Cattermole effort.
Jaaskelainen also did well to keep out a late Ki Sung-Yueng shot.

The Hammers have won one of their last eight league games (W1, D2, L5).
They are chasing back-to-back home league wins – something they last achieved on the opening day of the season (having ended the previous campaign with a home win).
The last time they recorded consecutive home league wins during the same season was at the start of the 2012-13 campaign, which began with victories against Aston Villa and Fulham.
Sunderland

They have failed to win their last nine away league matches (D2, L7). Their most recent away victory was the 3-0 win at Newcastle on 14 April.
