What were the key moments in the Leicester vs. West Ham match?

Ed Chamberlin 0:00
Extraordinary. But it was never going to be straightforward. But what twists and turns in the title race in that second half here at the King Power Stadium. Kasper Schmeichel shaking his head for the Leicester fans. He went from jubilation at half-time to despair after the sending off of Jamie Vardy, then the penalty, to jubilation again with that penalty late on. And eventually a draw that will feel like a win. Huge, huge decisions by John Moss at the King Power Stadium. What next in this extraordinary title race? The fact is Leicester need eight more points now to be champions.
Ed Chamberlin 0:42
Elsewhere today, Liverpool have beaten Bournemouth by two goals to one. They're eighth in the table on 51 points now, level with Southampton. West Ham's point is there on 53, three behind Manchester United. European hopes still alive.

How did Jamie Vardy's sending off impact the game?

Ed Chamberlin 0:55
And Leicester, the gap at the top is eight points. It is over to Spurs, who play on Monday night football. What will their fans have made of that last ten minutes or so?
Claudio Ranieri 1:09
Well, Claudia, what did you make of that? I waited a difficult match and it was very, very tough. We were lucky at the first minute when they had a chance to touch the ball, to post and after we scored a goal, played our football against a very good team and we lost the chance at the beginning of the second half when Okazaki made a cross and Vardy was very close to finishing the action. And then after the send-off changed all our matches. What's your opinion of the sending-off? I don't know. I judge my players, not the referee. The referee watches this, it's OK. So you say you judge your players. What do you mean by that? If some players don't play well or make some mistakes, I speak with them and we try to improve their performance.
Claudio Ranieri 2:14
But the referee is not my matter. Did you speak to Jamie Vardy? What's he said about the sending off? No, nothing. Do you want to know something about Jamie? Ask Jamie, not me. He hasn't said to you whether he thought it was or wasn't? No, I think also you already watched the full, if it was or wasn't. Then why we had to say something? No. Okay, I accept what you're saying. How proud are you of the way your team fought back? Fantastic, fantastic. This is our soul. We play every match with this, you know. Blood, heart and soul. It's magnificent. Thank you. I say thank you to my players, to the fans. We must believe every time. And this point is very, very important psychologically. Why do you say that? No, because after 2-1, to go back in the last minute is very, very important.
Claudio Ranieri 3:15
You think, ah, my effort, something produced. That is important. Did you show nerves today, do you think, your team? No, no, no. No, I mean in a positive way. Yeah. No, I don't know the word nervous. I know West Ham is a good team. It's a good team with good players. I said to the previous, you know, they move the ball very well. They have three good strikers. They can change everything. And also they deliver the ball very well. But we closed very well. All the space, they were dangerous just in the free kicks and corner. And that for me is very, very important. Thank you. Thank you.

What did Claudio Ranieri say about the match performance?

Claudio Ranieri 3:53
Thank you. Slavin, your thoughts on an extraordinary game of football?
Slaven Bilic 3:57
Yeah, I'm... We are gutted, you know, because at the end I think we've done enough to win the game. Before the last five seconds of the game, where we made one mistake, we didn't want to kick the ball, like long balls, wide sides, we lost the ball there, then that move... You want me to talk about the penalty? That's why you called me here, to be fair. One of the reasons. The game went that way, it was hard for the referee, with the crowd. The crowd, not only here, they are always asking for... Every long ball is a handball or it's a penalty or that, so it's not easy for the referee. To be fair, I feel for him, although it's not a penalty, of course, but it was hard for him. We spoke to Andy Carroll, he said he didn't even make a challenge.
Slaven Bilic 4:59
Of course, you don't have to speak to Andy about it. It wasn't a penalty, the player went down, he made a touch and went down, it's not a penalty.
