West Ham United won their second Premier League game in a row at the weekend, as they defeated Sunderland at the London Stadium.
The result was certainly a dramatic one. It looked like West Ham were on their way to a disappointing 0-0 draw against the Premier League strugglers but then an unfamiliar goalscorer popped up to save the day.
West Ham United’s Winston Reid celebrates scoring their first goal
Winston Reid rifled home a late strike with his left foot to give the Hammers all three points and Slaven Bilic another reason to be happy.
The goal was West Ham’s 100th under his guidance and the New Zealand international was clearly pleased with the goal:
He also received congratulations from a man who has played the West Ham hero on many occasions before.
Dimitri Payet is the West Ham talisman at the moment, but he conceded his greatness to Reid over the weekend with this Instagram post:
West Ham fans will no doubt be hoping this can be the start of a run this campaign. Next up is Everton away, a fixture that threw up an incredible 3-2 win last season.
A similar result would undoubtedly be welcome again.
