West Ham 1 Arsenal 0 – 5th November 2006
Alan Pardew’s West Ham side were tactically spot on as we picked up all three points at home to Arsenal courtesy of a late Marlon Harewood goal.
The Gunners dominated proceedings but our defence stayed resolute and Rob Green looked unbeatable between the sticks. With about 20 minutes to go, Alan Pardew boldly took the gamble of throwing on Teddy Sheringham and Marlon Harewood and changing the formation to a 4-4-2.
This move paid off as Matthew Etherington galloped down the left flank and produced an inch-perfect cross for Harewood to slide in and convert.
Whilst Harewood ripped off his shirt in an outpour of emotion and joy, Arsene Wenger showed the bitter side of his character by shoving Alan Pardew during the West Ham man’s celebrations.
