Ghana winger Andre Ayew scored for West Ham United in their 2-2 away draw against Sunderland in the English Premier League at the Stadium of Light on Saturday.

The Irons opened the scoring on the 5th minute after Andy Carroll miskicked an angled shot before the ball fell straight to Andre Ayew inside the six-yard box. He takes a touch, and his time, before coolly slotting in past goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.

Sunderland equalized on the 26th minute mark through Wahbi Khazri's audacious direct corner kickwhich was misjudged by Darren Randolph.
Ayew failed to restore West Ham's advantage when he missed a rebound from close range in the 37th minute.

But just after half time, James Collins put West Ham ahead after Robert Snodgrass' swift corner landed on his head in the 47th minute.

Sunderland got their reward for controlling the much of the latter stages of the game as substitute striker Fabio Borini levelled the scoreline after Darren Randolph failed to keep out his low shot in the 90th minute.

West Ham remain in 13th spot with 37 points after match day 33.
