West Ham have secured just one win in their last five matches, finishing the game only six points clear of the relegation zone. On the other hand, Leicester will be thrilled to break a seven-match winless streak and are now just two points behind West Ham in the standings. Thanks for tuning in to Tribe for this coverage. Premier League action continues tomorrow, and I'll see you then. Goodbye!
West Ham continued to push after the break, with Tomas Soucek firing over and Mads Hermansen tipping over Mohamed Kudus' deflected shot. However, Hermansen nearly became the villain when he fluffed a punch, but the goal was ruled out due to a foul by Soucek. This proved pivotal as Leicester quickly doubled their lead, with McAteer setting up El Khannous for Leicester's second goal. West Ham's woes worsened as Patson Daka sealed the win with a goal in the 90th minute. Despite creating chances, including a late consolation from Niclas Fullkrug, Julen Lopetegui's job could be in jeopardy after another disappointing result for West Ham.
Leicester City appointed Ruud van Nistelrooy as manager following a tough start to their Premier League return, and the Dutchman, with a wealth of playing experience in the league, made an immediate impact. Jamie Vardy marked his new boss' debut with a historic goal, scoring within two minutes after being set up by Bilal El Khannous. Vardy’s strike made history as he became the first player to score under six different Premier League managers. Despite Vardy's near-second goal being denied by Fabianski, West Ham were the more threatening side, with Danny Ings' header hitting the post and Kasey McAteer and Vestegaard both making key defensive contributions, while Hermansen denied Jarrod Bowen on two occasions.
90+9'
WIDE BUT OFFSIDE! West Ham win a free kick on the left, and Emerson delivers a well-placed ball into the box. Fullkrug rises to meet it with his head, but his effort goes wide of the left post. However, the flag is raised for offside, so the goal would not have counted even if it had been on target.
90+7'
Bowen leads the counterattack and makes his way toward the center of the pitch, with options available on both flanks. However, he hesitates for a moment, taking too long to make a decision, allowing Leicester’s Mavididi to close in. Seizing the opportunity, Mavididi nicks the ball off Bowen and wins possession for Leicester.
90+5'
Paqueta picks out Bowen on the right, and he delivers a low cross into the box for Summerville. However, Summerville struggles to adjust his feet in time, allowing Leicester to clear the danger.
90+3'
WEST HAM GET ONE BACK! Antonio wins a corner on the right, and Bowen swings it in. Summerville flicks it on, setting up a straightforward header for Fullkrug, who directs it inside the left post to grab a consolation goal for West Ham. Surely it's too late, right?
