The Hammers made a storming start, overwhelming their visitors before the break and taking a crucial 2-0 lead inside the opening 45 minutes. Scott Parker opened the scoring with 22 minutes on the clock, playing intricate one-twos with both Thomas Hitzlsperger and Lars Jacobsen before poking an inch-perfect shot into the bottom left hand corner of the net.

It got better the for Hammers before half-time when Demba Ba flicked Robert Green's long kick out wide to Gary O'Neill before bursting into the box and heading his cross beyond Pepe Reina.

Former Hammer Glen Johnson pulled one back for the away side six minutes from time, knocking home after Luis Suarez's low cross deflected off James Tomkins and into his path. But West Ham did not crumble and secured the points in stoppage time through Carlton Cole, who outmuscled Martin Skrtel and beat Jamie Carragher before finishing emphatically.
