Brentford deal fresh blow to Leicester's survival bid with thrashing | OneFootball

Brentford compounded Leicester City's relegation woes with a comfortable 4-0 rout.

Scorers: Wissa 17', Mbeumo 27', Nørgaard 32', Carvalho 88'

Yoane Wissa broke the deadlock in the opening stages by latching onto Mikkel Damsgaard's clever chip to fire the ball into the turf and over Mads Hermansen.

The Bees produced a goal of real quality to double their advantage as Bryan Mbeumo cut inside and curled a sublime strike into the far corner of the net.

Things went from bad to worse for the hosts as Christian Nørgaard was allowed to head home unmarked from close range as he met Mbeumo's free kick into the box.

Two minutes from time, substitute Fábio Carvalho seized on slack defending after an initial Mbeumo effort had only been half-cleared by the Foxes' backline.

Thomas Frank's side temporarily moved above Brighton, who travel to top flight strugglers Southampton on Saturday, into the Premier League's tenth place.

Leicester, meanwhile, are two points adrift of safety at 19th in the table.
