Leicester City’s miserable season took another turn to the worse tonight, as Ruud Van Nistelrooy men were humble at home from Rampant Brentford.
Foxes fans stayed from the King Power Stadium long before the half, after watching a frustrating defense display on their part.
Brdford scalled the defense at home at will, especially during a one -sided first half with Yoane Wissa, Bryan Mbeumo and Christian Norgaard scoring to kill the game effectively before the break.

Leicester managed to stop the tide in the second period, even though there was still time for the substitute Fabio Carvalho to add a quarter, as Brdford relaxed in their fourth consecutive victory in the Premier League.
The stain denies leicester twice
There was no sign of capitulation to come as Leicester went out of the traps and tested Brentford Mark Flekken’s goalkeeper twice in the first five minutes.
The Dutch stopper threw a shot from Woyo Coulibaly before an even better storage to deny Jamie Vardy after veteran Leicester Striker had run to Bilal El Khannouss through the ball before turning Ethan Pinnock.
Bredford responded well and had to be sentenced to seven minutes when Coulibaly fell to Kevin Schade in the area. Referee Tony Harrington broke the protests with VAR bizarrely supporting his call.
Schade threatened again after 12 minutes, but Coulibaly did well to block his shooting in the distant position.
Wissa opens the rating
Brdford began to dominate and it was no surprise when they took the lead after 17 minutes. The ball broke for Mikkel Damsgaard on the edge of the area and his passing took Wissa, who reacted to Leicester defenders to trigger Mads Hermansen.
Flekken again saved from Vardy before Brdford scored the second after 27 minutes-MBEUMO cutting Victor Kristiansen’s weak challenge and shot a wonderful left-handed shot.

The scissors of “You are not suitable to wear the shirt” by Leicester fans resonated around the ground and the anger increased shortly after half an hour, when Norgaard increased without question to direct MBEUMO’s free kick.
The goals continue to come for Brdford! 🔥

Leicester’s frustration threatened to boil with Coulibaly and the Hapless Caleb Okoli, both held for reckless challenges.
And it could get worse for the first half home with the injury with Keane Lewis-Potter seeing an attempt to block it for handball after pushing the ball into the net after a nice block from Hermansen.
The second half non-manifestation with the game won
Van Nistelrooy made two changes to the break, carrying Coulibaly and Bobby de Cordova-Reid, but made a little difference, as Brentford traveled in the second half without having to get out of the second speed.
They also created the odd opportunity, and Hermansen, who, along with Vardy, was the only Leicester player who came up with any credit, produced a brilliant attitude to deny Yehor Yarmoliuk after appearing to another attractive Mbeumo cross.
There was a little bit he could do to prevent Brdford from covering up their two minutes to go.
Hermansen saved well from the impressive Mbeumo, but Carvalho was on alert to shoot in the empty net.
The defeat means that Leicester has now lost its last six Premier League games at home without scoring a single goal.
