Antonio gives West Ham 1-0 win over Sunderland

Sam Allardyce admits a failure to convert performances into points is Sunderland's "Achilles heel".

The victory has helped the Hammers climb to fifth place on the Premier League table.

Byram has settled in well since joining West Ham from Leeds and while the visitors kept Dimitri Payet quiet, he defended equally well against Wahbi Kahzri while his challenge on Rodwell saved a certain goal. If we improve the way we are doing it, that should get us high, but where I don't know. "Thoroughly enjoyed my time at the club & wish them all the best".

The games are running out for Sunderland and Sam Allardyce, who will at least be pleased about his reception back at Upton Park.

Spurs struck by double injury blow ahead of crucial ties
We were tipped to go down from when we were in the Championship and I think it's only this year we were not. Perusing Spurs' official site , Tottenham and Borussia Dortmund haven't played much against one another.

"Jan's our most productive player in possession", said Allardyce.

This issue isn't something that has plagued Sunderland thankfully, as the 4-2 win at Swansea City and the 1-0 win against upcoming opponents Crystal Palace show that the players are capable of finishing chances that come their way, but at the Boleyn Ground they just weren't at the races in front of goal. "It's a results business - as a player or a manager, you're judged on results - and we have to make sure we get the results we need".

"All we are trying to do is win as many games as possible, and secondly win them by playing a nice kind of football, the sort that is entertaining for the fans".

For West Ham, the questions are more intriguing.

During her Best British female artists , Adele showed support for Kesha and her legal battle she has been going through. His night had so far been "pretty intense... definitely the most extravagant awards show we've ever been to".

"If I say we don't have a chance, you would think I did not believe in my team but if I say yes, you'd call me big-headed".

"We've made a massive pressure game now against Palace because we then play Southampton away and we've really got to pick points up from both of those games".

Sunderland started the second half well and former West Ham striker Jermain Defoe spurned a great chance to equalise when he fired wide after James Collins had misjudged Lee Cattermole's ball over the top.

"I hope so", replied Bilic to some laughter and some concerned looks. "We've got a good squad, the belief's there, it's just a case of winning a couple of games back to back".
