West Ham United made it two wins from two to start the new Premier League season by beating Leicester City 4-1 on Monday night, with Pablo Fornals starring.

The Hammers opened their campaign with a 4-2 win at Newcastle United, and the goals continued to flow against Leicester.

Fornals put West Ham 1-0 up in the first half before Said Benrahma went from creator to goalscorer.

Youri Tielemans gave Leicester hope, but Michail Antonio added a brace to secure a 4-1 victory at the London Stadium.

Eight goals and six points in two games is a perfect start for West Ham, with their front four all thriving right now.

Antonio, Benrahma, Fornals and Jarrod Bowen are excelling, and fans absolutely loved what they saw from Fornals on Monday night.

The Spanish midfielder was seen as a big signing under Manuel Pellegrini, but took quite a while to adjust to life in the Premier League and become a key part of the West Ham side.

Fornals was outstanding against Newcastle and superb again on Monday night, with West Ham fans now raving about him.

Some admitted that they have been proven wrong by Fornals, branding him an ‘unbelievable’ player.

Some thought he was ‘amazing’ and ‘excellent’ against Leicester, praising him not just for his technical ability but also his work off the ball.
