Honours finish even at London Stadium

West Ham 2-2 Leicester City
by Paul Donovan
at London Stadium 

HONOURS finished even in this hard-fought contest between West Ham United and Leicester City, though home manager Manuel Pellegrini thought his side were again denied the points by poor refereeing decisions.

“We have now lost five points in two big games with such big mistakes,” said Pellegrini, referring to the game last week against Man United and to a Lucas Perez goal wrongly disallowed for offside.

West Ham dominated for long spells in this match, twice going in front but two lapses of concentration cost them dear.
