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

West Ham United extended their winning streak to a sixth game with an exhilarating, dominant performance at Crystal Palace on this day three years ago.

Tomáš Souček scored twice and Craig Dawson added a third in the second half, as the visitors shrugged off the blow of Wilfried Zaha’s third minute goal in style.

In truth, they could have scored more than the three goals they managed – forcing 17 shots on the Palace goal and slicing their hosts open almost at will, but three proved to be enough even though Michy Batshuayi pulled one back right at the death.

That was little more than a minor irritant on a night when the Hammers moved up to fourth in the Premier League table.
