On This Day | Hartson double downs Blackburn

Remote Stream

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

John Hartson's brace was enough to see off Blackburn Rovers at the Boleyn Ground on this day in 1998.

The Hammers striker netted twice inside the first 28 minutes to put the hosts in a commanding position in this Premier League clash, and although Jason Wilcox pulled one back on the stroke of half-time, West Ham saw the job through to win 2-1.

West Ham would go on to claim an eighth-place finish in the final table, while Blackburn were two places higher in sixth.
