LEICESTER: Brentford’s Bryan Mbuemo scored one goal and made another in a 4-0 win over Leicester City on Friday as a dismal display of defending saw the relegation-threatened Foxes slump to their sixth home defeat in a row in the Premier League.
Bees playmaker Mikkel Damsgaard teed up Youane Wissa to open the scoring in the 17th minute, and 10 minutes later the Dane picked out Mbeumo on the right, and he curled home an unstoppable shot to make it 2-0.
Five minutes later Leicester’s defence was caught napping again at a free kick as Mbuemo picked out Christian Norgaard, who flashed a header into the net, prompting several fans to head for the exits, and their side failed to mount any sort of a comeback in the second half.
Instead, Brentford substitute Fabio Carvalho rattled in a late fourth to bring Leicester’s goals-conceded total to 59, the most in the Premier League so far, as the Bees move up to 10th in the standings on 37 points, while their hosts remain in 19th on 17 points.
