Jamie Vardy helps hand Ruud van Nistelrooy the perfect start as new Leicester boss - and pushed Julen Lopetegui closer to the brink at West Ham.
Jamie Vardy helped hand Ruud van Nistelrooy the perfect start as new Leicester boss - and pushed Julen Lopetegui closer to the brink at West Ham.
Van Nistelrooy, who was appointed on Friday to replace Steve Cooper, has said he was not a romantic manager who will put style in front of results. After Vardy's second-minute opener – although the Foxes needed to wait over two minutes for the video assistant referee to rule the striker onside after he raced on to El Khannouss' ball - keeper Lukasz Fabianski denied the veteran forward again, before the Hammers took control.The Hammers thought they had levelled after the break when Hermansen punched the ball into his own net as he tried to deal with a hanging ball, but Tomas Soucek was ruled to have fouled the goalkeeper.
Fullkrug's headed finish from Summerville's corner was his first Hammers goal, but mattered little to the outcome as his side slipped to a disappointing seventh defeat in 14 league games.Van Nistelrooy had just two days with his Leicester players before facing West Ham, but managed to transform them after a six-match winless run.
Foxes fans needed to see their team play for the shirt, with their commitment questioned by the travelling support at Brentford. There was no doubt this time.
