Classic match
Chelsea 2-4 West Ham United
Division One
19 September 1959
West Ham United came out on top in a high-scoring London derby at Chelsea on this day in 1959.
The Hammers had already contested eight league fixtures before making the short trip across the capital to take on Chelsea, and they sat seventh in the table going into the fixture.
Their standing would remain the same after the 90 minutes, but they would be content with taking both points home with them following a thriller.
John Dick bagged a brace, while Malcolm Musgrove and Phil Woosnam also hit the target for a free-scoring Hammers side.
Musgrove would notch 20 goals that campaign as West Ham ended 14th in Division One - four places above their opponents from that day
