West Ham United are behind in their Premier League clash against Leicester City at King Power Stadium.
Former England striker Jamie Vardy coolly slotted home one-on-one to put the hosts in front in the second minute, and after a lengthy VAR check - following an initial offside decision - the goal was given by referee Josh Smith.
Jarrod Bowen forced multiple good saves from Foxes stopper Mads Hermansen before the end of the first half, while Tomáš Souček and Carlos Soler went close, and Danny Ings hit the post.
Indeed, the Irons managed 20 shots with scoring in the opening 45, the most we've had in a half of Premier League football since 2005/06, while nine different players had a goal attempt, with only Vladimír Coufal not having one of the outfield players.
The Hammers continued where they left off after the interval, with Souček and Mohammed Kudus among those spearheading a period of sustained pressure, however it was Leicester who doubled their lead against the run of play just after the hour, Bilal El Khannouss making it 2-0.
