West Ham United slipped to a 2-0 defeat to Leicester City at London Stadium in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
The Irons fell behind when James Maddison netted his seventh goal of the league season inside ten minutes, but after Łukasz Fabiański saved a penalty from Youri Tielemans late in the first half, had plenty of chances to find their way back into the match.
In our final fixture ahead of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Lucas Paquetá had three attempts at the Foxes’ goal in the first half alone, while Tomáš Souček saw an equaliser ruled out for offside before the interval.
It was a similar pattern in the second half as Declan Rice, Saïd Benrahma and Gianluca Scamacca almost provided a leveller, although the Hammers were ultimately unable to stretch their unbeaten run against the Foxes to five matches after Harvey Barnes doubled the visitors' lead 12 minutes from time.
