English Premier League: West Ham United 4-1 Leicester City

Michail Antonio has scored twice as West Ham United earned a 4-1 home win over 10-man Leicester City.

West Ham took the lead after 26 minutes when Pablo Fornals guided home a low cross by Saïd Benrahma. 

Leicester suffered another wound before the half-time whistle as Ayoze Perez was sent off for a reckless challenge.

The Hammers upped their pressure after the break with Benrahma smashing in the second from Antonio’s back pass.

Youri Tielemans halved the deficit with a close-range effort in the 69th minute to give Leicester a slim hope of a comeback.

But Antonio restored the two goal advantage in the 80th minute, burying a low-shot into the net and completed his brace four minutes later to send the London Stadium into a frenzy as West Ham made it two wins out of two games in the Premier League.
