Comments:

League position: 12th West Ham United were now without a win in four consecutive home games in the Premier League for the first time since January 2014. The Hammers had now lost three consecutive Premier League games for the first time since September 2016. They had now kept only one clean sheet in their last 13 league and cup games. West Ham United manager Slaven Bilić said: "In this league you can't afford to be 3-1 down and try to turn the game around. But they showed character. Last 20 minutes the ball just didn't want to go in."

Comments:

League position: 15th Craig Shakespeare became the first Leicester City manager to win his first three Premier League games in charge and the first-ever manager to see his team score three or more goals in his first three games in the Premier League. This was the Foxes' first away win of this Premier League season at their 14th attempt. With Robert Huth's goal, City became the 18th team to score 500 goals in the Premier League. Leicester City manager Craig Shakespeare: "We started really well and got the goals but it was backs to the wall at the end. We have to give West Ham credit. They threw everything at us in the second-half."
