A lack of quality finishing cost West Ham United according to manager Slaven Bilic after 25 shots against Leicester City failed to produce a goal.

The Hammers left the King Power Stadium empty handed as Islam Slimani’s header in the first half proved to be the difference between the two sides.

With Kasper Schmeichel in fantastic form, there was no way past the Foxes’ defence leaving Bilic cutting a frustrated figure.

“It’s very frustrating to lose a game like this,” he said. “They started better, and were the better team for 20 minutes.

“They deserved to score, but then after that we played very good and had a few chances in the first half that we should have scored from.

“Second half we were missing that final touch, that final ball. We gave everything and it’s a shame to lose like this. That’s life.

“The finishing or the last ball was not quite there. Okay they defended with bodies and they put a lot of players in the box, so it’s hard to break them.

“But basically we were there in the good positions in the whole second half and we just couldn’t finish it.

“I think we deserved something out of the game.”
