David Moyes took charge of his first West Ham home game on Friday night as his Hammers side welcomed Leicester City to east London.

West Ham had fallen to a 2-0 defeat at Watford in Moyes’ bow as boss last weekend, and was hoping for a turnaround in fortunes despite not having Javier Hernandez for the visit of the Foxes.

Leicester had won one, drawn one and lost one since Claude Puel’s appointment, and looked to be comfortable at the London Stadium after Marc Albrighton handed the Foxes an early lead.

But Cheikhou Kouyate's header from a corner kick just before the break ensured the Hammers salvaged a point from the Friday night fixture.
