On their visit to Leicester City, West Ham and Edson Álvarez fell 3-1 and added their seventh defeat
Dutch coach Ruud van Nistelrooy made his debut as Leicester coach with a 3-1 victory against Edson Álvarez’s West Ham, two days after taking charge.
The eternal captain Jamie Vardy, with a goal 98 seconds after the initial whistle, Bilal El Khannouss (61) and Patson Daka (90) allowed the ‘Foxes’ to add their third victory of the season on the 14th round of the Premier League.

West Ham scored in added time (90+3) depriving Leicester of finishing with a clean sheet, something the newly promoted team has only achieved once this season.
Despite starting with a victory, the next few weeks look complicated for Van Nistelrooy, with duels against Brighton, Newcastle, Liverpool, Manchester City and Aston Villa.
The Dutchman’s smile at the end of the match contrasted with the face of his ‘Hammer’ counterpart, the Spanish Julen Lopetegui.
The Spaniard’s balance in his first season with the London club is seven defeats in fourteen championship games, which have taken West Ham to 14th position with only 15 points.
