Jack Harrison celebrates his third goal against West Ham
Jack Harrison celebrates his third goal against West Ham

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 moments 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.

West Ham manager David Moyes was disappointed after the whistle. He said: "When you play Leeds you know the intensity you need to play at.

"We made mistakes today, it wasn't anyone else's fault but there were other reasons for it too.

"The players are making a great go of it but today we were short and didn't play well enough."

While Bielsa was thrilled with his side's display. He said: "It was good that it went in our favour but the margin was very close.

"It is a triumph for the players because of the effort they put in. The desire to win was very, very big."
