Match In A Minute: Leicester 1-0 West Ham: Chris Kamara offers thoughts
Saturday 31 December 2016 19:45, UK
Islam Slimani eased any growing relegation pressure at Leicester as the champions held on to beat West Ham 1-0 at the King Power Stadium.
The striker's header sent the Foxes six points clear of the Premier League bottom three with just a second top-flight win since October.
Michail Antonio hit the bar for the Hammers who, despite dominating the second half, failed to find a way through to end their run of three straight wins.
The Foxes finished a year where they won a shock title on a high after a poor first half to the season which has seen them drift dangerously close to the drop zone.
Victory halted West Ham's rise up the table and Leicester are now just two points behind the Hammers after opening up a sizeable gap between themselves at those battling relegation at the foot of the table.
