On This Day: Andy Carroll scores two as West Ham beat Swansea

 

Taking a look back at a classic West Ham United moment on this day in history, in association with RoadX Tyres...

Andy Carroll scored twice as West Ham United moved up to third in the Premier League with a 3-1 victory over Swansea City on this day in 2014.

Wilfried Bony put the visitors ahead with a clinical finish but Carroll headed in the equaliser from Carl Jenkinson's right-wing cross.

Bony then hit the crossbar before Carroll netted again with a second header, powering Stewart Downing's corner past Lukasz Fabianski.

Future Hammer Fabianski was then sent-off for a foul on Diafra Sakho, and the Senegalese striker wrapped up victory for Sam Allardyce's high-fliers with an emphatic strike late on.

The win, West Ham's third in succession, took them onto 27 points from 15 games.
