Taking a look back at a classic West Ham United moment on this day in history, presented by Heineken....

West Ham United extended their winning streak to a sixth game with an exhilarating, dominant performance at Crystal Palace on this day four years ago.

Tomáš Souček scored twice and Craig Dawson added a third in the second half, as the visitors shrugged off the blow of Wilfried Zaha’s third-minute goal in style.

In truth, they could have scored more than the three goals they managed - forcing 17 shots on the Palace goal and slicing their hosts open almost at will - but three proved to be enough even though Michy Batshuayi pulled one back right at the death.

That was little more than a minor irritant on a night when the Hammers moved up to fourth in the Premier League table.
