West Ham hold Leicester for 2-2 draw
West Ham’s week of controversy ended with some relief after Craig Dawson scored a late equaliser off his shoulder to earn a 2-2 draw against Leicester in the Premier League after Kurt Zouma pulled out in the warm-up at King Power Stadium on Sunday.

Zouma was named in the team but reported to be feeling sick with problems with his vision, so substitute Issa Diop started instead with goalkeeper Darren Randolph making up the bench.

Zouma’s withdrawal came at the end of a week that saw him fined two weeks’ wages and lose Adidas as a sponsor after he was filmed kicking and slapping his cat. Two cats have been removed from his property and an animal charity has launched an investigation.
