West Ham United beat Leicester City in the Premier League 2-0 on Thursday night.

It was a vital win for West Ham, and a top 10 finish in Premier League table is now genuinely attainable.

Graham Potter has overseen some clear and obvious improvements at the London Stadium already, and he has proven to be a class above Julen Lopetegui in every single department.

The Hammers are now looking upwards, and there’s every chance we can finish the season strongly.

With Potter at the helm, the quality of football will undoubtedly improve, and the consistency of our results should as well.

James Ward-Prowse absolutely raved about him just a few days ago, and the Hammers head coach is clearly a very popular figure amongst the players.

The improvements at the London Stadium are clear and obvious to see.

West Ham have already done something under Potter that hasn’t been done at the club for around 14 months.

West Ham did something for first time in the Premier League since 2023 vs Leicester

The Foxes were truly awful on Thursday night.

And the Hammers had an incredibly easy ride throughout the entire game.

It was about as straightforward as a Premier League game can be, and West Ham took the points with an extremely simple 2-0 win.

The 2-0 win over Leicester was the first time the Hammers won a home game without conceding since December 2023, when we beat Manchester United 2-0 at the London Stadium (BBC).

That tells its own story really doesn’t it. West Ham went 14 months without winning a home game whilst keeping a clean sheet, and that’s unacceptable.

Another record was made on Thursday night, as Tomas Soucek became only the second player in Premier League history to score goals on two separate birthdays.

All in all, it was a very good night for West Ham.

West Ham had special guest in attendance for Leicester game

As the Hammers eased to victory, there was a very special, yet familiar, face in the home end.

Vladimir Coufal went undercover and watched on in and amongst the Hammers fans.

That’s absolutely class from the 32-year-old, who is currently out injured with a hamstring problem.

He clearly loves the Hammers inside out, and probably deserves a lot more respect than he gets from the fans.

Coufal should be back for West Ham’s Premier League clash with Newcastle on March 10th.
