SOU EASY

Claret & Blues cruise as Tomas sinks shambolic Foxes

- ALAN SMITH

BIRTHDAY boy Tomas Soucek set West Ham on their way to a comfortable win that underlined why shambolic Leicester are close to being written off.

Ruud van Nistelrooy's team may remain two wins from safety but it is becoming increasingly difficult to see where the next point, never mind six, is coming from.

The most alarming aspect of an 11th defeat from their past dozen league games was a simple lack of application from a defence devoid of confidence.

Soucek, 30 yesterday, cracked the fragile visitors first before captain Jarrod Bowen manufactured a second that took two deflections and was eventually given as a Jannik Vestergaard own goal.
