Hammers fall to defeat at home against Foxes

West Ham 0-2 Leicester City

at the London Stadium
WEST HAM will feel the World Cup cannot come soon enough, after the third home defeat in a week, this time against Leicester at the London Stadium.
The West Ham side is very much a work in progress and they are not going in the right direction at the moment.
The visitors were ahead inside seven minutes, when the impressive James Maddison, started the move, with a back heel. The sequence finished with Harvey Barnes turning the ball inside to Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall who passed across the penalty area for Maddison to smash into the roof of the net.
