Leicester boss Shakespeare delighted with West Ham victory: There's no secret

Leicester City boss Craig Shakespeare was delighted with victory at West Ham.

The Foxes also finally collected their first Premier League away victory of the season with a 3-2 success at West Ham.

Riyad Mahrez, Robert Huth and Jamie Vardy - three of the main protagonists of last season's title triumph - hit first-half goals as Leicester showed no signs of a European hangover following their impressive win over Sevilla.

And although they may have a Champions League quarter-final meeting with Atletico Madrid on their minds, Shakespeare has ensured they get their domestic affairs in order first.

"There is no secret, just hard work, endeavour and resilience, and we showed that today," he said.

"We said once the Champions League draw was made let's concentrate on the Premier League. It's been put to one side, we've parked it.

"We knew we were coming here on the back of an awful away record and we wanted to put it right."
