West Ham United defender Carl Jenkinson has said that his side should have beaten Sunderland after they came from 2-0 down to draw at the Stadium of Light on Saturday.

Jenkinson scored the Hammers' first goal in first-half injury time to halve the deficit before Dimitri Payet struck after Jeremain Lens had been sent off for the home side to earn Slaven Bilic's side a 2-2 draw.

The on-loan Arsenal full-back insisted that the visitors should have taken advantage of their extra man on the pitch to find a winner in the last 30 minutes after his side had to settle for a point against the Premier League bottom club.

"We have done well to get back in the game," he told BBC Sport. "Of course the way that game went when they had a man sent off we should have got the three points but it is not easy against 10 men.

"Our first goal changed the game and there was only one team that was going to win it in the second half, but we knew that it was going to be a tough game."

The draw moves Sunderland off the bottom of the Premier League table on goal difference, while West Ham slip to fifth.
