Slaven Bilic: This West Ham player is not to blame for Sunderland draw

Andre Ayew fired ahead with just five minutes gone only for Wahbi Khazri to level direct from a 26th-minute corner.

James Collins headed the Hammers back in front within two minutes of the restart, but substitute Fabio Borini struck in the 90th minute after an error by Randolph.

However, Bilic has refused to criticise his goalkeeper.

“There is no pointing fingers,” the Hammer manager said. “We are a team. 

“We are playing as a team, we are winning as a team, we are drawing as a team, we are losing as a team and we are conceding goals as a team. That’s it,” he told reporters.

“Of course you are disappointed when you are leading twice and then you concede this late – although it was 10 minutes of added time, which is a long, long time, but I have to say it’s a fair result. 

“To concede both goals in this way, they were both strange goals and of course you are not happy with the way we conceded.

“If we are talking about the goalkeeper for [Khazri’s] goal, it’s very hard for a goalkeeper. The ball was not very high in the air so he could [not] have seen it all the way along. 

“Everybody was expecting our player to clear it, but he didn’t and the ball dropped very quickly and he couldn’t get a touch. It’s a very unusual goal we conceded.”
