West Ham v Leicester
In Mark Noble’s 400th Premier League game and 524th for West Ham in all competitions, two goals from Jesse Lingard in the first half and one from Jarrod Bowen at the beginning of the second one meant that West Ham again had a three goal lead.
This was the third game in a row in which the Irons had a three-nil advantage, and we knew that if they were able to hold on to their lead, they would be back in a Champions League spot – above Chelsea and Liverpool!
But it got very very tight again, when Leicester pulled two back courtesy to Iheanacho, but West Ham could see the game out – and won again with 3:2, like they had done on Monday against Wolves.
Now with an other win within seven days, the Hammers continue to be fourth and sit just one point behind Leicester in third.
Jesse Lingard’s stunning form since his loan move in January helped David Moyes to set his sight on taking West Ham into the Champions League for the first time, but it will be a tough task with Declan Rice out with a knee injury until May. Antonio is injured too and this afternoon Cresswell and Noble had to be substituted due to injury in the second half.
