Cresswell: West Ham did enough to beat Sunderland

Aaron Cresswell was left frustrated as West Ham drew at Sunderland.

The Hammers fought back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2.

Cresswell told whufc.com: “I think we could have got the victory at the end of the game. We went two goals down and we know the first half simply wasn't good enough.

“It has happened to us a couple of times but we knew it was going to be tough coming to Sunderland with what is happening there at the moment.

“We knew the gaffer was not going to be happy with us at half-time but all credit for the way we came out fighting in the second half.

“They were reduced to ten-men for the last 35 minutes and it was a bit of a disappointing end as you would have fancied us to get the three points, but it wasn't meant to be.

“It was frustrating and they were always going to drop off and defend their 18-yard box which they did and we couldn't get the goal to go on and win the game.

“We have a little break now and then we go again (against Crystal Palace)."
