Taking a look back at a classic West Ham United moment on this day in history, in association with Heineken…
A dominant display from West Ham United saw them stun Manchester City 4-2 in the Premier League on this day in 1996.
Two goals from summer recruit Iain Dowie, added to strikes by Julian Dicks and Dani, were enough to see Harry Redknapp’s side triumph at a packed Upton Park.
A Niall Quinn brace for the visitors acted as only a mere consolation, as the Hammers poured on the style in the spring sunshine.
You can watch the goals above!
Graham Potter has set his sights on Chris Rigg as he looks to strengthen his West Ham team in the summer transfer window.
The Hammers boss will be looking to put his stamp on his West Ham side in the hope of a much more successful Premier League season next term.
Although Potter will want a squad that is ready to perform in the top flight, the boss will also be looking at long-term options as he prepares to kickstart a project in East London.
In his previous roles, particularly at Brighton, Potter proved his has a good eye for picking out younger players with potential and developing that talent.
Rigg is certainly someone with plenty of quality and given the 17-year-old has made 34 Championship appearances this term, it seems as though he will easily make the step up to the top-flight.
