Leicester City bounced back from successive defeats after defeating West Ham at the London Stadium on Saturday.
The Brenda Rogers’ team came into the match, low of confidence having been defeated by Manchester City last weekend and whitewashed by Liverpool on Thursday.
Kelechi Iheanacho, however, gave City the lead in the 40th minute, but it could only last for five minutes after Fornals ran into the area, got on the end of Anderson’s low cross and lashed it into the far bottom corner.
Leicester also missed a penalty in the 9th minute of the game after Iheanacho was fouled inside the area by Fabiański.
Gray stepped up for the penalty but missed after a quick take. He went to Fabiański’s left, and West Ham’s keeper guessed correctly.
