On This Day | Hammers stun Gunners at Highbury

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

West Ham United defeated Arsenal 1-0 at Highbury in an FA Cup third round replay on this day in 1989.

The two sides had drawn 2-2 at the Boleyn Ground just three days prior, and the Hammers headed to north London with the unenviable task of toppling the league leaders - and eventual champions - on the road. 

However, it was to be a memorable night for West Ham and Leroy Rosenior in particular. The forward reacted quickest to a lofted ball from Alan Dickens, heading past the advancing John Lukic to seal the Hammers' progression.

You can watch Rosenior's winning goal again in the video player above.
