Comments:

League position: 7th Adrian was dismissed in the second minute of added time in the second half. With all three substitutes already used, defender Carl Jenkinson took his place in goal. The subsequent suspension would end a run of 58 consecutive starts in the Premier League for the Hammers' keeper - the longest current sequence in the division for one team.

Comments:

League position: 1st Leicester City lost all six of their Premier League games played in London in the 2014-15 season. This was their first visit to the capital in 2015-16. They had now won their opening two games of a Premier League season for the first time since 1997-98.
