Aaron Cresswell scores great goal in West Ham's draw at Leicester

Watch Aaron Cresswell's strike which gave West Ham a 2-1 lead at Leicester

Aaron Cresswell scored a superb goal to give West Ham the lead at Leicester in the Premier League on Super Sunday.

With the game level at 1-1 at the King Power Stadium, Cresswell controlled the ball on the left side of the box and fired a brilliant half volley past Kasper Schmeichel.

It looked as though the goal would be the winner until Leicester won an injury-time penalty which Leonardo Ulloa converted to snatch a point for the league leaders.

Despite the late setback, the result does see the Hammers keep pace in the race for the top four, and the nature of the performance in coming back from a goal down did please manager Slaven Bilic.

"We showed character and quality, even in the first half," Bilic added. "They scored a goal on the counter attack, but we didn't lose shape and composure, and we were rewarded with the penalty.

"Cresswell scored the goal from the position of a left winger. It is a big frustration for us. We deserved to win the game."
