It was a special night in east London.
60,000 Hammers returned to London Stadium for Monday night's visit of Leicester City and were given a real treat.
West Ham United were in rampant form to sweep to the 4-1 victory that sent them to the top of the Premier League table.
Here's some of the best reaction from Twitter...

Michail Antonio's two goals made him the sole holder of the Club's all-time Premier League goalscoring record, and the Claret & Blue Army were united in praise for him...

This stat makes good reading...
West Ham have more PL goals than Arsenal, Spurs, Palace & Chelsea combined this season. Seems good.

This pretty much summed up the feeling around the game...
That’s the West Ham we know and love. An entertaining, high intensity, spirited group that want to play for the shirt. David Moyes is slowly building very special things at this football club.
