On This Day: High-flying Hammers stun Liverpool

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

West Ham United leapfrogged Liverpool and moved up to third in the Premier League table with an impressive 3-2 win at a raucous London Stadium on this day in 2021.

Ending a demanding period of seven fixtures in the space of 22 days across three competitions unbeaten - a splendid feat in itself - Pablo Fornals’ breakaway strike and Kurt Zouma’s first West Ham goal were enough to see the Hammers come out on top in an open-ended second half after Trent Alexander-Arnold's free-kick had cancelled out Alisson Becker’s own-goal early in the first half.

Divock Origi pulled a goal back late on for Liverpool, but West Ham deserved the three points for an awesome show of character which resulted in them inflicting a first defeat on the visitors in the Premier League that season and end Liverpool's unbeaten run of 25 games prior.
