The chance to revel in another club’s misery must have felt unusual for West Ham. West Ham had delivered a passable impression of unity just when a collapse looked possible with Mark Noble’s spectacular effort in the second half securing the win that ensures their survival and all the discontent belonged to Leicester instead. The harsh truth is that West Ham did not have to be spectacular to dominate, even if Moyes was delighted with his side’s response to last Sunday’s chastening defeat to Manchester City. West Ham had control in midfield and, despite starting without an orthodox striker again, the measure of Leicester’s defence. It was a stunning goal from the midfielder, who showed perfect technique when he met a loose clearance with his right foot, and an audacious way for West Ham to seal a precious victory.
