Comments:

League position: 4th West Ham United had now taken a three-goal lead in each of their last three games in the Premier League. Jesse Lingard had now scored eight goals in the Premier League in his loan spell with the Hammers to equal his highest total in a season in the division; also for Manchester United in 2017-18. Mark Noble became the first player to make 400 appearances for West Ham in the Premier League and the eighth player to do so for one club. Issa Diop scored after 55 minutes but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review due to an offside decision.

Comments:

League position: 3rd This was Leicester City's first defeat in their last 11 away games in the Premier League (won six). The Foxes had now kept a clean sheet in one of their last eight games in the Premier League. Kelechi Iheanacho had now scored nine goals in his last six appearances in all competitions.
