Dom Smith on Leicester 3-1 West Ham

Transcript

00:00I'm just outside the King Power Stadium here where West Ham suffered a really,

00:04really damaging 3-1 defeat here against a side lower than them in the league table.

00:08It was Ruud van Nistelrooy's first match in charge of Leicester

00:12and he was the one who finished the happier manager.

00:15It leaves Julian Lopetegui clinging on to his job really.

00:18It remains to be seen in the coming days whether the club will move to remove him

00:22of his position as manager but certainly his job now has to be considered under immediate threat.

00:28They've won just three league games this season and this was such a disappointing defeat.

00:33They had 20 shots in the first half, a Premier League record and a half of football for West

00:38Ham. 31 shots by the end but I still didn't leave feeling that they played particularly well.

00:43They certainly hadn't dominated Leicester and in the end the scoreline reflected that too

00:48because it was Leicester who won 3-1 and they went 3-0 up in fact.

00:52Nicolas Fulcruve on the score sheet for West Ham.

00:55That was the small silver lining of the evening.

00:57He hasn't played since August after his Achilles injury which has had setback after setback.

01:02He came on late on and scored a late header for West Ham to make it 3-1 but it was 3-0

01:08at the time and at that point the Leicester City fans were shouting at Lopetegui,

01:13you're getting sacked in the morning.

01:14Remains to be seen whether that is true.
