If there was ever a goal that deserved fans in attendance, it was this one.
Manuel Lanzini’s wonderstrike for West Ham in the dying embers of the 3-3 thriller with Tottenham will almost certainly go down as a goal of the season contender.

The Hammers were dead and buried after Spurs raced into a 3-0 lead after just 16 minutes as Heung-min Son’s opener after 45 seconds and Harry Kane’s double put them in total control.
They were still winning 3-0 when Gareth Bale came on as a 72nd-minute substitute for his second Tottenham debut, but it all went wrong at the end as Lanzini’s stunning stoppage-time strike completed a comeback started by Fabian Balbuena and a Davinson Sanchez own goal.
And it’s safe to say David Moyes was a happy man judging by his reaction to the goal.
The Scot wildly celebrated the last-gasp equaliser on the pitch as the visitors sealed a dramatic late comeback at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
West Ham boss Moyes felt his side got what they deserved, saying: “The half-time team talk was really difficult because we were 3-0 down but actually I thought we played really well apart from the first five, 10 minutes.
“Probably the toughest decision was not to make any decision. Obviously we’d given away three goals, which I couldn’t believe. These things happen, I think that’s the way football’s been a little bit.”
On the turnaround, Moyes added: “I think we did what we did in the first half. In the end we got some goals. It’s very difficult to use the word proud very often but tonight was a really proud moment to be the manager because of how well they played, how well they kept at it.
“Three-nil down against Tottenham, it’s a big result. I think the team’s getting better.”
