16. West Ham United 5 Bradford City 4 – 2000
Paulo di Canio inspired a great comeback by the Hammers. Bradford were 4-2 in front at the start of the second half. The eccentric Italian is well known for his on-field histrionics, but he surpassed himself as he demanded Harry Redknapp take him off after his third penalty shout was turned down by referee, Neale Barry. And then, when the Hammers were awarded a penalty, Di Canio argued with Frank Lampard to take the kick. Lampard gave up the argument, Di Canio scored, and suddenly West Ham were back in the game at 3-4 with 25 minutes left. Joe Cole’s first league goal for his side, and a beautiful strike by Lampard, finished off City.
