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


West Ham United enjoyed a happy start to 2022 with a 3-2 Premier League victory at Crystal Palace on New Year’s Day - with Manuel Lanzini again the Eagles' nemesis.

The Hammers' win came courtesy of three first-half goals at Selhurst Park – the seventh time in 20 Premier League matches that season we had scored three or more goals in a game – to close to within a point of the top four.

A high-paced, end-to-end game was settled by a close-range finish from Michail Antonio and two strikes from Lanzini, the first an unstoppable left-foot special from 20 yards and the second a right-foot penalty awarded after Luka Milivojević was penalised for handball.

Palace pulled two goals back in the closing stages, but it wasn't enough to deny the east Londoners.
