On This Day | Hammers roar back to sting Hornets

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

On this day in 2004, Alan Pardew’s West Ham United secured an impressive come-from-behind win against Watford at the Boleyn Ground.

Brynjar Gunnarsson gave the Hornets the lead with a drilled effort from 15 yards, then things got much worse for the Hammers after Bruce Dyer clipped the ball over Stephen Bywater to make it 2-0 to the Hornets.

The outlook brightened in the second half thanks to Nigel Reo-Coker slotting home the rebound from Sergei Rebrov’s free-kick.

Darren Powell made it 2-2 when he headed in Matthew Etherington’s delightful corner, and the Irons were not finished there.

Midway through the second period, Rebrov capped off a superb performance by smashing home a sublime cross from Matthew Etherington.

It capped a stunning turnaround and you can enjoy the goals from that game again in the video player above.
