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

Dimitri Payet’s stunning free-kick stole the show as West Ham United drew 2-2 with Crystal Palace in the Premier League on this day in 2016.

The Frenchman stepped up just before the break and whipped a gravity-defying effort past a helpless Wayne Hennessey to put the Hammers 2-1 ahead, before Dwight Gayle levelled for the visitors late on.

The Eagles had taken an early lead through Damien Delaney but Slaven Bilić’s side got themselves back into the contest with a close-range drive from Manuel Lanzini.

West Ham would go onto finish the 2015/16 Premier League season in seventh place, whilst Palace finished 15th.
