Second match and first victory for Ruud van Nistelrooy at the head of Leicester and on the occasion of this 13th day of the Premier League. After being slapped at Brentford this weekend (4-1), the Dutch coach’s brand new club this time won at home against West Ham and in style (3-1). Jamie Vardy (2nd), Bilal El Khannouss (61st) and Daka (90th) allowed their team to achieve this first success since October 19. Fullkrug in added time (90th + 3) saved the honor of the Hammers.
The Foxes took advantage of this to move up two places in the rankings to move up to 15th place, just behind their victim of the evening. The happiness of some makes the unhappiness of others and Julen Lopetegui risks not resisting this new disappointment, he whose future is more than ever on hold. Still at the bottom of the standings, Crystal Palace won at Ipswich 1-0 thanks to Jean-Philippe Mateta (59th). The Eagles are 16th while the promoted team is not taking off and remains 19th.
