The match saw Jamie Vardy, who once broke Van Nistelrooy's record for goals in consecutive matches during Leicester's 2015/16 campaign, open the scoring just two minutes into the game. Bilal El Khannouss added a second goal, and Patson Daka seemed to seal the win in the final minutes. However, Niclas Fullkrug managed to pull a goal back for West Ham, making the final score 3-1 in favor of Leicester.
This victory moves Leicester City up to 15th place in the Premier League standings, just two points behind West Ham. The win also raises questions about the future of West Ham manager Julen Lopetegui, who has been under pressure due to the team's recent performance.
