On This Day | Paulo and Paolo pummel Leicester

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

West Ham United's strike pair were on form on this day 25 years ago to secure a 3-1 Premier League victory at Leicester City.

It was the Paulo and Paolo show as the Foxes had no answer to Wanchope and Di Canio.

Wanchope struck first, finishing following a Frank Lampard assist to give the Irons a 13th minute lead.

Although Emile Heskey hit back at the mid-point of the opening period, West Ham were undeterred, and Wanchope's second of the game sent them in at half-time happy.

The Costa Rican then turned provider for his near-namesake, as Di Canio made the points safe on the hour.

Victory took the Irons to eighth in the Premier League, and they would end the campaign one position lower, with 55 points.
