Leicester City stay in hunt for survival after win over West Ham

Leicester boss Nigel Pearson hailed the “outstanding” Esteban Cambiasso after a vital win that gave the Foxes fresh survival hope.

Cambiasso netted with a sweet strike in the 12th minute, hitting the ball first time from just outside the box after it had sat up for him from a ricochet.

West Ham almost found themselves 2-0 down but goalkeeper Adrian coming to their rescue by saving David Nugent’s 15th-minute penalty.
