West Ham United took a huge step towards European qualification with a nerve-shredding 3-1 victory at West Bromwich Albion on Wednesday night.
Late goals from Angelo Ogbonna and Michail Antonio saw off the challenge of the Baggies and sent us up to sixth in the table with a game to play.
Now needing a point from Sunday's final game of the season against Southampton to secure a place in the UEFA Europa League, there was no doubt just how big the victory was...
MASSIVE character. MASSIVE win. MASSIVE. #WBAWHU

Our Czech mates drew praise after Tomáš Souček scored our leveller and Vladimír Coufal gave yet another typically lionhearted display...
?? West Ham's Tomas Soucek is the first Czech Republic player to reach 10 goals in a single PL season

Michail Antonio scored the clincher, taking him to double figures in the process. What a season he's had again...
Michail Antonio has been directly involved in 15 goals in his last 14 away Premier League starts [12⚽️ 3?️].

The turnaround from last season has not gone unnoticed...
From a relegation scrap, to 1 point off Europa League Group Stages.
