For any fan who has gone through a relegation battle supporting their club, it is an experience that can feel to significantly age you.
The whole process can see you experience a range of emotions over the course of a few weeks, but West Ham supporters lived through it all in one dramatic second half.
There was no hint of what was to come in a drab first 45 minutes as neither side created a chance of note, but that all changed after Soucek struck six minutes after the restart.
The experienced midfielder – making his 200th Premier League start for the Hammers – crashed home a trademark header from Jarrod Bowen’s corner to put the hosts ahead.
At that time, West Ham were going four points clear of the bottom three with Spurs being held by already-relegated Wolves.
But things dramatically changed in both games as full-time approached.
First, Joao Palhinha put Tottenham ahead against Wolves and moments later Dewsbury-Hall levelled at West Ham.
That combination of scores put the Hammers in the bottom three and there was an air of deflation around the London Stadium.
But that all changed when Wilson struck two minutes into the eight added on.
The dramatic nature of this win will provide a significant boost to West Ham’s morale as they bid to stay in the Premier League.
