West Ham player ratings vs Leicester: Pablo Fornals continues good form but Michail Antonio wasteful

West Ham’s Premier League campaign ended in defeat as they were beaten 2-1 by Leicester at the King Power Stadium.

Harvey Barnes and Wout Faes put the Foxes two-goals up, before Pablo Fornals pulled one back for the visitors.

The Hammers could not find an equaliser, and their focus now swiftly turns to the Europa Conference League final on June 7.

Here’s how David Moyes’s side rated at the King Power Stadium...

Lukasz Fabiański 6

No chance with either goal, and didn’t have much else to do.

Vladimir Coufal 5

Clever ball in behind made Fornals chance. Caused problems by Barnes, though.

Thilo Kehrer 5

Has improved at right-back in recent weeks but looked vulnerable back in the middle.

Nayef Aguerd 6

Made an excellent recovery when almost caught out by ball over the top to Iheanacho.

Aaron Cresswell 6

Set-piece delivery almost brought Evans own-goal.

Flynn Downes 6

Back from illness to make only seventh League start of his debut season. Couldn’t go with run of Barnes for the opener.

Declan Rice 6

Played with usual intensity in what will likely prove his final League game for the club.

Lucas Paqueta 6

Full of confidence at the moment and started with a swagger but faded.

Pablo Fornals 7

Scuffed wide when taking effort on early, but continued his good recent run with late consolation.

Michail Antonio 4

Missed two best chances of the first half, shooting straight at Iverson and then lifting over.

Said Benrahma 6

Made Antonio chance with smart cut-back, then hit woodwork with low curler.

Substitutes

Danny Ings (Antonio 63’) 4

Missed an absolute sitter. Usually his bread and butter.

Jarrod Bowen (Benrahma 63’) 6

Should have had an assist immediately, having made Ings chance.

Emerson (Cresswell 72’) N/A

Maxwel Cornet (Paqueta 72’) N/A

Manuel Lanzini (Downes 86) N/A

Unused: Areola, Zouma, Ogbonna, Soucek
