West Ham Defeats Leicester 2-0, Moves to 15th Place

West Ham United secured a 2-0 victory against Leicester City, propelling them to 15th place in the Premier League and 16 points clear of the relegation zone. Tomas Soucek opened the scoring on his 30th birthday, tapping in a rebound from a save on Mohammed Kudus' shot, followed by an own goal from Jannik Vestergaard. Leicester's disappointing performance left them five points adrift of safety, continuing their struggle under manager Ruud van Nistelrooy, who has seen his team suffer 11 defeats in 13 matches. Despite fewer attempts on goal than Leicester, West Ham capitalized on defensive errors to claim back-to-back wins for the first time since March. The victory follows an impressive win against Arsenal, easing relegation fears for the Hammers. Kudus, instrumental in the match, is expected to play a key role for Ghana in the upcoming international fixtures.
