Aber die Youngsters aus Tony Carrs "Academy of Football" waren wieder voll da an diesem sonnigen Nachmittag am Upton Park: Junior Stanislas (Bild links; Eurosport) scorte bei seinem ersten Start knapp vor der Pause, und James Tomkins legte nach der Pause mit einem kraftvollen Kopfball nach Mark Noble-Corner noch eins drauf. Ein nach Sunderlands Anfangschancen in der Folge so gut wie nie gefährdeter Sieg einer zeitweise groß aufspielenden West Ham-Elf. Und infolge der Niederlagen von Wigan, Manchester City und Konsorten wurde der 7. Platz mit diesem Sieg abgesichert: die Hammers liegen drei Punkte vor Wigan, 4 vor Fulham und schon 6 Punkte vor ManCity und den Spurs.
Besonders sehenswert der erste Treffer mit einer schnellen Ballstaffette von Green auf Boa Morte, Noble, Di Michele, wieder Boa Morte und schließlich Torschütze Stanislas!
