The match saw Jamie Vardy, who once broke Van Nistelrooy's record for consecutive goals 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 with a late goal. However, Niclas Fullkrug managed to pull one 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, just two points behind West Ham. The win also raises questions about the future of West Ham's manager, Julen Lopetegui, given the team's recent struggles.
