Leicester City defeated West Ham United 3-1 at the King Power Stadium on Tuesday evening.
Ruud van Nistelrooy made a winning start to his Leicester career as his side outfought the struggling Hammers.
Though, in the first half, Leicester had to defend for a lot of it and they were perhaps fortunate to go into the break 1-0 up.
The second period was a totally different story and they completely overwhelmed the visitors with lightning-quick transitions.
West Ham fans were so impressed by Jamie Vardy’s performance as he opened the scoring with a cool finish.
Leicester supporters were also wowed by one of their £6m players during the clash.
