Trevor Sinclair celebrates scoring against Everton in December 1998

On This Day: Keller and Sinclair goals sink Everton

Marc Keller and Trevor Sinclair were on target on this day in 1998 as West Ham United saw off the challenge of Everton at the Boleyn Ground.

French midfielder Keller opened the scoring with 19 minutes on the clock, and although Blues forward Danny Cadamarteri levelled in the second half, Sinclair struck a winner to send the Claret and Blue Army home happy for Christmas.

The win helped Harry Redknapp's entertainers end a two-game Premier League losing streak and the Irons went on to finish the season in a superb fifth-place.

Keller marked his debut season in a West Ham shirt with five goals in 22 appearances following a summer transfer for Karlsruhe, while Sinclair netted seven times in 40 games in all competitions in his second campaign in east London.

Enjoy the big moments from a win over an Everton team that included former Hammers David Unsworth, Don Hutchison and Slaven Bilić again here.
