On This Day: West Ham best Blackburn in FA Cup thriller

 

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

West Ham United continued their run to the FA Cup final with a thrilling 4-2 victory over Blackburn Rovers in the fourth round on this day in 2006.

The Hammers had gone behind after just 28 seconds, but rallied to lead 3-1 at half-time, courtesy of goals from Teddy Sheringham, Matthew Etherington and an own goal from Rovers defender Zurab Khizanishvili.

The visitors hit back through a fine Lucas Neill effort to set up a tense finish at the Boleyn Ground, however just eight minutes later Bobby Zamora put the result beyond doubt with a calm finish.

The Irons famously went on to the final at Wembley, falling just short in a penalty shoot-out against Liverpool.
