Leicester City ran out 5-2 winners over West Ham United in the Perth International Cup third-place play off.

The Foxes were in front after ten minutes, Noémie Mouchon running into the box and setting up Yuka Momiki for a close-range finish.

The lead was doubled when Missy Goodwin went past a defender and found Sam Tierney for her top tap home.

Goodwin got the third herself before the break, finding the bottom corner after Momiki’s pass picked her out.

Any hope of a Hammers fight back was hit by a fourth goal for Leicester early in the second half, Mouchon running onto a ball over the top to net confidently.

With 15 minutes to go, Saori Takarada’s shot came down off the crossbar and crossed the line, before Janice Cayman nodded in the rebound to make sure.

West Ham got two late consolation goals through Viviane Asseyi, who headed home a 90th-minute cross and stabbed in a loose ball during stoppage time.
