Marko Arnautović gave David Moyes his first victory as West Ham United manager with a magnificent defensive effort against Chelsea on this day in 2017.

The Austrian forward's early goal was enough to see off the Premier League champions and end a two-month wait for victory in the Premier League five years ago today.

The Hammers had gone eight top-flight games without a win, during which Manuel Pellegrini had departed and been replaced by Moyes, but that run ended amid jubilant scenes at London Stadium.

Under the Scot and with Arnautović in outstanding form, West Ham's resurgence would continue and the Londoners finished well clear of relegation danger in 13th place.
