1999: West Ham United 4-3 Sheffield Wednesday

West Ham United prevailed in a seven-goal thriller with bottom-of-the-table Sheffield Wednesday. 

The hosts struck first through Paulo Wanchope's far-post header but were quickly pegged back when Petter Rudi equalised with a low shot.

Wim Jonk put the visitors ahead three minutes after the restart before Paolo Di Canio levelled from the penalty spot. 

Sheffield Wednesday restored their lead four minutes later through Andy Booth's header but soon had Danny Sonner sent off. West Ham capitalised with goals from Marc Vivien Foe and Frank Lampard to snatch three points. 

Victory moved West Ham up to 10th on 21 points while Sheffield Wednesday were rooted to the foot of the table on six points, they were six points from safety.
