An interesting match up to end Week 2 of the English Premiere League.
How do you see this going? Starts in about 15 minutes.

West Ham has had slightly more possession but neither team has come close to scoring. It's 22 minutes in.

And there it is. In the 26th Benrama, on a full run, sends in a beautiful cross which is tapped in by Fornals.
West Ham 1 - 0 Leicester

40th minute and Perez for Leicester inadvertently stomps on the leg/ankle of the West Ham scorer and the referee misses it completely. But, VAR didn't. Ref takes a look, issues red card.
Now Leicester is one goal and one man down.

Go West Ham.
We 'ate Leicester and
We 'ate Leicester
We 'ate Leicester and
We 'ate Leicester
We are the Leicester 'aters
Can't remember last weekend I never watched a single game. Can't wait to see highlights of the sending off and the sickened look on Rodgers' face because
We 'ate Leicester and
We 'ate Leicester
We are the Leicester 'aters.

Hey staggs.  Leicester makes a horrible mistake down near their own goal and they give the ball to Antonio, he draws the keeper near and it's an easy cross to Benrahma for the tap in. West Ham 2 - 0 Leicester |

Leicester gets one back. Ball ping pongs around the West Ham box, drops in front of Thielmans who smashes it, it is blocked but goes right back to Thielmans who on the second strike puts it in the net.
West Ham 2 - 1 Leicester
74th minute.

West Ham get the ball easily down the left side and a dangerous cross makes it to Antonio, who is always a threat. He gets the ball, makes a quick move around the defender and slams a nice strike to the far corner.
He celebrates by running over to the sideline where a life sized cut out of him is, he picks it up, twirls around a few times, kisses it, then throws it to the ground. That goal made Antonio the all time leading goal scorer for the West Ham club. Well deserved.
West Ham 3 - 1 Leceister

Leicester completely flub up blocking a cross in, it hits a defenders foot, pops up towards the net where Antonio wastes no time taking it and tapping it in for another goal.
West Ham 4 - 1 Leceister

And that's the way it ends. Strange thing was what was missing. Vardy was missing for Leicester, hardly touched the ball, an afterthought when it came to passes by teammates.
Oh well.
