West Ham United returned to the top of the Championship last night with a fantastic 4-1 win over promotion rivals Blackpool at Bloomfield Road.

The game saw Nicky Maynard score on his full debut for the club as well as on-loan midfielder Henri Lansbury don the goalkeeping jersey after Robert Green's dismissal.

The remarkable result was capped off by two more players scoring their first goals for the club with Ricardo Vaz Te and Gary O'Neil both netting their first strikes in claret and blue.
