Poyet draws pride from Sunderland draw against West Ham

Sunderland boss Gus Poyet took some pride from their 0-0 draw at West Ham United.

Steven Fletcher's goal in the 3-1 defeat at Crystal Palace on August 31 was the last time Sunderland scored away from home in the league but Poyet felt for the first time in a while that his side deserved to win a game.

"I would like to say that we didn't look like the worst team in the Premier league today but somehow it is not enough," he said.

"To be out of this situation, when you play like this you need to win and you need to score to make sure you take the three points, but in the first half it was my team. This is my team and now I need to make sure we do it week in, week out.

"There are different feelings. I'm very upset because we didn't win but for the first time proper this was my team."
