Taking a look back at a classic West Ham United moment on this day in history...

Tomáš Souček struck late in the day to secure a frantic comeback 3-2 victory for West Ham United over Nottingham Forest on this date in the calendar two years ago.

A five-goal thriller at London Stadium, packed with ebbs and flows, was kicked into life in the early exchanges when Lucas Paquetá struck home a composed finish from the edge of the penalty area on three minutes.

Forest levelled from close range just before half-time through Taiwo Awoniyi, after Morgan Gibbs-White had his shot saved, before the away side took the lead on 63 minutes thanks to Anthony Elanga. 

Jarrod Bowen restored parity just moments after with a well-taken header, his eighth Premier League goal of the season, before Souček completed the turnaround with a trademark headed finish with just two minutes of normal time left to play.
