Division One
31 March 1986
West Ham's Boys of '86 continued their chargs up to their eventual finishing position of third in the top flight table with a memorable London derby victory over Tottenham Hotspur on this day in 1986.
John Lyall's side were in the middle of their most successful league campaign and this victory over Spurs avenged a 1-0 defeat suffered at White Hart Lane on Boxing Day.
Much of the Hammers' success was based on the goalscoring form of Frank McAvennie and Tony Cottee and they were both on the scoresheet for this match.
McAvennie ended the season with 28 goals and Cottee was only two behind with 26 as the Hammers claimed third on 84 points, just five off champions Liverpool.
