On This Day: Manuel Lanzini gives Chelsea the Blues

 

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

 

Manuel Lanzini curled home a magnificent goal as West Ham United maintained their challenge for European football with a 2-2 Premier League draw at Chelsea on this day in 2016.

The Argentinian put Slaven Bilic's Hammers in front with a fine effort at Stamford Bridge, celebrating the strike with a memorable jig alongside his teammates.

Cesc Fabregas leveled in first-half stoppage time before Andy Carroll latched onto Dimitri Payet's through ball and slammed a low shot past Thibaut Courtois to put West Ham back in front.

Chelsea snatched a point through Fabregas's late penalty, but West Ham still ended the day fifth in the table.
