Comments:

League position: 17th Manager Manuel Pellegrini was sacked shortly after this game. West Ham United had now lost more games in the Premier League in the last two months (seven) than champions-elect Liverpool had lost since May 2017 (six). [c/o Richard Jolly] The Hammers equalled their club record of four consecutive home defeats in the Premier League. Pablo Fornals became the 151st player to score for West Ham in the Premier League; two more players than any other team in the competition's history.

Comments:

League position: 2nd Leicester City had now won four consecutive games in the Premier League played in London for the first time. The Foxes made nine changes to their starting line-up from their previous game. The last side to make nine or more changes to their starting XI in the first-half of a season in the Premier League was Blackpool at West Ham United on 13 November 2010 (11). Demarai Gray became the third City player to miss a penalty and score a goal in the same game in the Premier League; also Jamie Vardy and Graham Fenton.
