West Ham had Frederic Piquionne to thank as they picked up their first win of the season against Harry Redknapp's Tottenham.

The French striker headed home a Mark Noble corner to the delight of a packed Boleyn Ground.

The Hammers did however go on to suffer the ignominy of relegation later that season, finishing bottom of the table.

Alan Pardew's Hammers crushed Tottenham's Champions League dream with a final day win which meant Spurs missed out on fourth place by two points.

Carl Fletcher's long range effort was cancelled out by old boy Jermain Defoe netting on his return to Upton Park before Yossi Benayoun scored a late winner.

Teddy Sheringham also had a penalty saved as the Hammers finished the season in a very respectable ninth place.

Les Ferdinand returned to haunt his former club and propel West Ham to a vital victory against their London rivals as their battle against relegation intensified.

The frontman had left Spurs for east London just a couple of months earlier and he notched his first goal for the Hammers against his old side with 31 minutes on the clock, with Kasey Keller unable to keep out his low shot.

Soon after the restart Keller was again picking the ball out of his own net as his fumble allowed Michael Carrick to put the Hammers two up.

More chances followed for the hosts, but they couldn't put more gloss on an already emphatic victory at the Boleyn Ground.

The wide man notched two of his seven goals during the 1998/99 season in this clash to inspire the home side to a rousing victory.

The Hammers enjoyed a fine season, finishing in fifth place in the top-flight while Spurs could only manage an eleventh place finish.

There were goals for Ronnie Boyce, Johnny Byrne, Geoff Hurst and John Sissons as the hosts ran riot in this London derby.

Victory helped make amends for a 3-0 loss at White Hart Lane earlier in a season which the Hammers would eventually finish 14th, ten places below Spurs.
