Sunderland dealt Hammer blow, Inter blows lead
Print Edition
WEST Ham United moved closer to Premier League safety and kept Sunderland in the relegation zone with a 2-1 away win on Monday.
Andy Carroll headed West Ham into lead and Mohamed Diame made it 2-0 to the London club shortly after half-time.
Sunderland substitute Adam Johnson pulled a goal back for in the 65th minute but the hosts were unable to add to that.
Victory took 11th placed West Ham onto 37 points, three short of the traditional survival mark of 40, but the result meant Sunderland stayed second bottom on 25 points, four shy of safety with eight games remaining.
In Italy, Inter Milan wasted a two-goal lead when a glaring error from Fredy Guarin led to a late equalizer by relegation-threatened Livorno in a 2-2 draw on Monday.
Five minutes from time, Guarin’s ill-advised pass back to defender Walter Samuel was intercepted by Livorno forward Innocent Emeghara, who then did well to beat goalkeeper Samir Handanovic with a long shot.
Brazil playmaker Hernanes had opened the scoring in the 37th with his first goal for Inter since transferring from Lazio in January and Rodrigo Palacio doubled the lead with his 14th of the season in first-half added time.
Paulinho pulled one back for Livorno in the 54th to start the comeback.
Inter remained fifth, only two points ahead of Parma in the race for the final Europa League berth.
