Leicester is playing an incomparably weaker season than last year, and tonight, Brendan Rodgers’ team didn’t have any luck either. They managed to reverse the result against West Ham, played great football for most of the match and it seemed that after three matches without a victory, they would finally celebrate, and then in the 90th a controversial referee’s decision ruined it all: Leicester – West Ham 2:2.The scorer of the leading goal for the Hammers, Jarrod Bowen took a corner, and Craig Dawson sent the ball into the net. At first it looked like a header, then the VAR intervened because it was evident that the defender of the guests caught the ball with another part of the body. Referee Michael Oliver, watching the video, concluded that the goal was regular, confirming that Dawson sent the ball into the net with his shoulder and that his hand was in a comfortable position. However, many will disagree that the decision he made is the right one.Looking at the players faces after the game, nobody is quite pleased with the result. Leicester won only the second point in the last four league games, and the Hammers are not much better either – four of the possible 12 points, which greatly reduced their chances for the fourth position. Admittedly, they are still on it, but for example, they have only two points more than Arsenal, who played three games less. Kurt Zouma was pulled out of the West Ham side to face Leicester on Sunday after feeling “unwell” in the warm-up, the London club said on Sunday. The French defender had initially been named in David Moyes’ starting line-up despite fury in recent days over a video that showed Zouma physically abusing his cat.15 – Only Mohamed Salah (25) has had a direct hand in more Premier League goals this season than Jarrod Bowen (8 goals, 7 assists), whilst the Englishman is the competition’s highest scorer since the turn of the year with five goals to his name. Phone-call? #LEIWHU pic.twitter.com/4JF512S1bf— OptaJoe (@OptaJoe) February 13, 2022 The man who lifted the Hammers in this match is (again) Jarrod Bowen. This season, former Hull man is playing excellent football and tonight, he added another goal (8th so far) and another assist (8th), but in the end, it was not enough for all three points. Bowen escaped the guards and hit the far corner in the tenth minute for the lead, before his teammate Aaron Creswell completely unnecessary handball while defending the corner and gave away the penalty, which Yuri Tilemans turned into an equalizer.In the second half, the Foxes at some points demonstrated the game that adorned them last season. Last year, after an identical number of games, they had as many as 15 points more than today, and last year’s appearance was brought to them by Harvey Barnes. The young Englishman was a constant danger on the left flank, from where he sent a wonderful cross shot in the 57th minute for Ricardo Pereira. Since arriving in Leicester in 2018, the Portuguese right-back has shown on many occasions how dangerous he is for the opponent’s goal, but injuries have led him to miss as many as 41 competitive matches. He almost finished the perfect night, when West Ham defender Craig Dawson scored the before mentioned equalizer for the final result.PREMIER LEAGUE – ROUND 25Saturday Man Utd – Southampton 1-1 (1-0)/Sancho 21 – Adams 48/Brentford – Crystal Palace 0-0Everton – Leeds 3-0 (2-0)/Coleman 10, Keane 23, Richarlison 78/Watford – Brighton 0-2 (0-1)/Maupay 44, Webster 83/Norwich – Man City 0-4 (0-1)/Sterling 31, 70, 90+1, Foden 48/SundayBurnley – Liverpool 0-1 (0-1)/Fabinho 40/Newcastle – Aston Villa 1-0 (1-0)/Trippier 35/Tottenham – Wolverhampton 0-2 (0-2)/Jimenez 6, Dendocker 18/Leicester – West Ham 2-2 (1-1)/Tielemans 45, Pereira 57 – Bowen 10, Dawson 90+1/Chelsea – Arsenal POSTPONED
