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

Andy Carroll enjoyed an afternoon to remember as he netted an historic hat-trick against Arsenal on this day in 2016.

In the final Boleyn Ground meeting between the teams, Carroll turned a 2-0 deficit around with a double strike in the minutes before half time - the first a typical header and the second an acrobatic finish.

Then, at the start of the season half, he rose high at the far post to make it 3-2 and complete an amazing turnaround to send the Claret and Blue Army into a state of delirium.

Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny may have levelled matters in the game's final 20 minutes, but Carroll would go home with the match ball and the fans with memories of a six-goal thriller - and the final hat-trick scored at our former home.
