Premier League: West Ham United storms to top of Premier League, beats Leicester City

West Ham United celebrated the return of a capacity crowd to London Stadium by storming to the top of the Premier League with a sensational 4-1 win over Leicester City in London. Pablo Fornals sent the West Ham fans wild by opening the scoring midway through the first half, before Saïd Benrahma made it two after Ayoze Pérez had been sent-off. The second fell to Rice himself when Vladimír Coufal’s cross was prodded out to him by Ricardo Pereira, but the captain’s 25-yarder flew comfortably over Schmeichel’s crossbar.The third went to Antonio, seeking a Club-record 47th Premier League goal, as burst clear of Wilfred Ndidi but sliced wide from just outside the penalty area. In the 56th minute, Caglar Soyuncu played a woeful backpass towards Schmeichel without looking and Antonio intercepted.
Antonio slipped the ball to the unmarked Benrahma and the Algerian smashed in his first goal at the London Stadium since signing from Brentford last season. Antonio wrapped up the points with 10 minutes remaining when he took Declan Rice's cross, held off Soyuncu and swivelled to blast past Schmeichel.
After celebrating his goal by holding up a large cardboard cut-out of him on the touchline, Antonio produced another memorable moment in the 84th minute.
