Wanderers' Jay Jay Okocha-inspired victory over West Ham at the Reebok will surely prove to be one of the most important victories in the history of the club writes Chris Sudlow
For those precious three points are all that have given a lifeline to Wanderers going into the final Premiership weekend of the season.
Now if Wanderers beat Middlesbrough at the Reebok next Sunday they will remain in the Premiership and the Hammers will go down - it's almost as simple as that!
A vital point from Wanderers' Saturday teatime goal-less clash at Southampton followed West Ham's 1-0 win over Chelsea to leave both clubs level on 41 points with Wanderers having a massive advantage of a goal difference better by six.
The target for Sam Allardyce's men this wekend is to equal the Hammers result against Birmingham at St Andrews and they will definitely be safe. An early goal will surely settle the fans' nerves!
Leeds also threatened to enter the equation before their stunning 3-2 win at Highbury on Sunday afternoon which gave Manchester United their eighth title in 11 season.
Manager Allardyce sent his players out at Southampton with simple instructions: Go out and win - but in the end they had to settle for a goal-less draw and a vital point.
The Wanderers boss said: "The West Ham result put terrible pressure on the players. And it showed. But although we didn't win we got a fantastic 0-0."
