Classic match
Blackburn Rovers 0-1 West Ham United
Premier League
9 December 2007
This particular date in the calendar has not proven to be especially fruitful for the Hammers, although they did claim a 9 December victory six years ago when they travelled to Blackburn Rovers.
West Ham had made a solid start to the campaign and were tenth in the table ahead of this match, and the three points kept them in the top half.
It was a tight affair settled by Dean Ashton's 52nd minute goal, the striker tapping home from a George McCartney cross.
Ashton scored ten league goals in 31 appearances that term as the Hammers secured a tenth place finish.
