Classic match

West Ham United 4-3 Sheffield Wednesday
Premier League
21 November 1999

West Ham United took advantage of a second half sending off to register a 4-3 win from a see-saw game against Sheffield Wednesday 16 years ago today.

Both the Hammers and the Owls traded the lead on a hectic Boleyn Ground day, but it was the Hammers who eventually prevailed.

The opening exchanges were goalless, but the blue touchpaper was lit when Paulo Wanchope gave West Ham a 28th minute lead.

Ten minutes later the Owls were level thanks to Petter Rudi, and then just three minutes after the break Wim Jonk turned the game on its head.

West Ham then levelled just past the hour thanks to a Paolo Di Canio penalty, but Sheffield Wednesday were back in front thanks to Andy Booth's 66th minute goal.

But the visitors had Danny Sonner sent off two minutes later and the Hammers profited with strikes from Marc-Vivien Foe and Frank Lampard.
