On this day: Berkovic and Lomas steer Hammers past Man City


Taking a look back at a classic West Ham United moment on this day in history, in association with RoadX Tyres...

West Ham United booked their place in the last 16 of the FA Cup with 2-1 win against Manchester City on this day in 1998.

John Hartson and Eyal Berkovic combined well to put the Hammers ahead after 28 minutes at Maine Road, but City rallied in the second-half and levelled through Georgi Kinkladze.

With just a quarter of an hour play, a Berkovic corner could only be half-cleared by Kit Symons and Steve Lomas capitalised, hitting a low drive past Tommy Wright to send West Ham United through.
