Song delighted with West Ham character for Sunderland draw

Alex Song was pleased with West Ham United's 1-1 draw against Sunderland.

For the third match in succession, the Hammers had to come from behind to earn the result, as Stewart Downing cancelled out Jordi Gomez's opener from the spot.

"We are happy to come away with a point," Song told whufc.com. "I think it is a good point - it is never easy when you go to play Sunderland.

"We conceded the first goal, but then scored ourselves and managed the game well. We had opportunities to score more, but it didn't come.

"It's good to not lose, you can see the good spirit and we have to focus on the way we are playing."
