Kelechi Iheanacho opened the scoring as Leicester City beat West Ham United 3-1 in Premier League 2 Division 1 at the King Power Stadium.

Summer signing Iheanacho, who has made two substitute Premier League appearances since his move, put Leicester 1-0 up from close range just before half-time.

Five minutes after the interval they had opened up a 3-0 lead. First Vicente Iborra headed home a Connor Wood corner and then George Thomas drove in the third to put Leicester in control.

The promoted Hammers pulled one back through Toni Martinez's fourth goal of the season but it was not enough to deny the Foxes their second win of the season.

Leicester, who climb to fifth in the table, visit Arsenal at Borehamwood on Friday 15 September. West Ham are fourth and are at home to leaders Liverpool at Dagenham on Monday.
