...disappointing move from the resulting free-kick though as Robert Snodgrass clips the ball towards Andy Carroll at the back post but the striker is covered well, with his header ballooning harmlessly out.

Brilliant challenge from Pedro Obiang in midfield to nip the ball off Wilfred Ndidi.

Andre Ayew picks the ball up before Andy Carroll turns provider with a great cross from Michail Antonio - but his header slides wide.

Now another free-kick in a good place for the hosts as Robert Huth is whistled for a foul on Ayew.

The Hammers certainly on top now.

Bright play again from West Ham as the ball is floated out to Aaron Cresswell, whose cross is met by Andre Ayew but the header is well wide.

A few thousand Hammers fans cheer for an equaliser as Andy Carroll slams the ball into the net - but the offside flag had been raised for some time, Antonio straying as he gathered a ball over the top before squaring it to Carroll. 

Marc Albrighton cuts back on to his right and clips in another teasing pass towards the edge of the six-yard box but this time Darren Randolph is able to gather ahead of the incoming Shinji Okazaki.

Michail Antonio makes a nuisance of himself on the left of Leicester's box, cutting inside and getting free of Danny Simpson but his shot takes a deflection and is easily gathered by Kasper Schmeichel.

West Ham 1-2 Leicester

Hammers goalscorer Manuel Lanzini takes a bit of a whack but is all right to continue.

You certainly wouldn't include this game on a instructional video entitled 'How to Defend'.

Moments after Darren Randolph nervously clears straight to Wilfred Ndidi, the hosts regain possession and break up the other end before Andre Ayew slices a shot wide of the left-hand post.

Kasper Schmeichel didn't have a chance. That was just a perfect free-kick right into the top corner. 

The technique to get it into that little bit of space is difficult to do. 

Nice ball in from Snodgrass with his third touch since coming on but it's cleared by Danny Simpson.

West Ham stay on the front foot though as Michail Antonio is scythed down by Danny Drinkwater.

Free-kick in a decent position for the Hammers...

So Snodgrass does come on for the injured Reid - a signal of intent from Slaven Bilic perhaps with his side already 2-0 down.

Did you think things could not get any worse for West Ham?

Unfortunately, they can as stand-in skipper Winston Reid pulls up trying to reach a ball ahead of the lurking Jamie Vardy.

The centre-back has clearly pulled a muscle in his right leg and is being helped off the pitch by the physio team.

It looks like Robert Snodgrass is coming on...could mean Cheikhou Kouyate dropping into defence.

West Ham weren't just asleep, they were practically six feet under as the 6'3'' Huth barely needed to jump to head in that second goal. 

Foxes remain in control here. West Ham happy to just settle things down for now but struggling to string a run of passes together.

They say that at the start of a game you have to work your way into it but these guys are asleep. Where was the marking?

The way Leicester are stroking the ball around is not only reminiscent of last season's title-winning side but also on a par with the quality of some of their fellow Champions League last-eight teams.

West Ham look utterly abject as the Craig Shakespeare revolution continues apace.
