Jack Harrison’s hat-trick gave Leeds a precious three points in the relegation battle, beating West Ham 3-2 in a five-goal thriller at the London Stadium.
Harrison opened the scoring in the 10th minute but his strike was cancelled out by a Jarrod Bowen header just after the half-hour mark.
Marcelo Bielsa’s side were back ahead just three minutes later as Harrison knocked the ball home from close range.
The hosts drew level after the interval via Pablo Fornals’ clever run inside and strike into the bottom corner.
But Harrison sealed the win for Leeds on the hour mark when he broke in behind West Ham’s defence and lofted the ball over Lukasz Fabianski.
