West Ham United endured a night of frustration as they fell to a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Leicester City in the hosts' first match under the stewardship of new manager Ruud van Nistelrooy.
The Foxes got off to a flying start at King Power Stadium, going ahead thanks to a second-minute goal from Jamie Vardy, which was eventually given after a lengthy VAR check.
Despite West Ham creating multiple goal attempts, shots on target and corners for the first hour of the game, out of nowhere, Bilal El Khannouss struck to seize control for City.
Patson Daka’s third in stoppage time put gloss on the scoreline, and though visiting substitute Niclas Füllkrug netted a consolation - his first in Claret and Blue on his first appearance since August - it couldn't dampen the home side’s evening.
