West Ham lost 1-0 away at Leicester City on Saturday afternoon.
West Ham United’s unbeaten run ended at four matches as they lost 1-0 away at Leicester City on Saturday afternoon.
The Hammers had beaten Burnley, Hull and Swansea to drag themselves away from the relegation zone, and were looking for a fourth straight victory as they travelled to the King Power Stadium.

Others branded Ayew a waste of money, and called on the Hammers to offer him to Sunderland in a swap deal for Jermain Defoe.
