Taking a look back at a classic West Ham United moment on this day in history, in association with Heineken...
Having slipped into the Premier League's relegation zone just four games previously, West Ham United were aware of the need to continue a run of promising form when they travelled to the Midlands to take on Coventry City on this day in 1997.
Five points from three games against top-half sides Chelsea, Aston Villa and Wimbledon had lifted the Hammers back up to 16th in the table and they rose a further position with this eye-catching victory against another side in the fight at the wrong end of the table.
Harry Redknapp's team had to recover from the blow of falling a goal behind to Dion Dublin's ninth-minute strike, but they battled back in style to be ahead by the break.
John Hartson notched the equaliser with 27 minutes played before Rio Ferdinand chipped in with his second of two goals for the Club seven minutes later.
Hartson, who joined the Hammers earlier that month from Arsenal, made the points safe four minutes after the interval, getting his Boleyn Ground career off to a successful start, with the brace making it three goals in five games for his new Club.
Although the Hammers were to go winless for the next three games - a run that dropped them back into danger - successive victories against Leicester City and Sheffield Wednesday would leave them safe by the season's end, four places but only two points clear of relegation.
