Leicester’s problems at the bottom end of the table deepened as West Ham cruised to a 2-0 victory against Ruud van Nistelrooy’s side at the London Stadium.
Van Nistelrooy was looking for a response from his side from their 4-0 defeat at the hands of Brentford last time out but what he got was a lacklustre performance as they crashed to an 11th league defeat in 12 to stay rooted in the bottom three.
West Ham, who followed up their victory at Arsenal at the weekend with another three points, didn’t get out of first gear. They didn’t need to.
They went ahead when Aaron Cresswell’s powerful strike was followed in by Mohammed Kudus, who saw his effort saved superbly by Mads Hermansen, but Tomas Soucek was alert to poke home the second rebound. (SkySports)
