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

West Ham United left it late, but they recorded a dramatic victory over Aston Villa at the Boleyn Ground 16 years ago today.

Zavon Hines - now a coach at the Academy of Football - was the Hammers' hero, scoring a last-gasp winner to give West Ham their first home win of the season and lift ourselves out of the bottom three.

Mark Noble put West Ham in front on the stroke of half-time, converting a penalty after Hines was fouled by Habib Beye.

Villa had the chance to level with a spot-kick of their own four minutes after the restart, but Rob Green kept out Ashley Young's penalty, only for the same player to strike three minutes later.

West Ham would not be denied though, and after Beye was red-carded for a second booking, Zines compounded the visitors' misery when he clipped over Brad Friedel.
