West Ham 1-1 Leicester: Frustrated Hammers Remain in Bottom Three After Being Held by Foxes

David Moyes search for his first win as West Ham manager continued after a disappointing 1-1 draw with Leicester City on Friday night.

After Mark Albrighton put Claude Puel's side ahead after eight minutes it looked as the Hammers dismal start to the campaign would continue. However, they salvaged a point from a Cheikou Kouyate header on the stroke of half time.

Despite heavy pressure in the second half from the home side they couldn't force their way through a resilient Leicester backline and had to settle for a point.

Following a 2-0 defeat to Watford in his first game in charge Moyes was hoping for a positive response against the Foxes but got off to the worst possible start when Jamie Vardy's hopeful cross wasn't dealt with by Angelo Ogbonna and was calmly converted by the onrushing Albrighton past a helpless Joe Hart.
