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

West Ham United made a winning start to the Slaven Bilić era on this day in 2015, beating Arsenal 2-0 at Emirates Stadium.

Cheikhou Kouyaté opened the scoring for the Hammers after Petr Čech misjudged Dimitri Payet's free-kick, allowing the Senegalese midfielder to head home into an empty net.

After the break, Mauro Zárate doubled the advantage with a driven effort from 20 yards after being gifted the ball by the Gunners' defence.

West Ham would go on to finish seventh after a memorable campaign which culminated with that final, unforgettable game at the Boleyn Ground.
