Leicester City’s Miserable season took another turn to the bad this evening when the men from Ruud van Nistelrooy were humble at home by the broken Brentford.
The Foxes fans stream out of the King Power Stadium long before half-time after looking at a bitter defense exhibition from their side.
Brentford opened home defense at will, especially during a one -sided first half with Yoane Wissa, Bryan Mbumo and Christian Norgaard everyone achieved to effectively kill the game before the break.

Leicester managed to contain the flood in the second half, although it still had time to replace Fabio Carvalho to expand a late fourth place when Brentford made her fourth exit victory in the Premier League easier.
Leicester refuses the stain twice
There were no signs of the upcoming surrender when Leicester flew out of the traps twice in the first five minutes and Brentford goalkeeper Mark Flekken had tested.
The Dutch stopper drew a shot from Woyo Coulibaly before an even better rescue Jamie Vardy refused after the experienced striker from Leicester had run through the ball to Bilal El Khannouss before turning Ethan Pinnock outside.
Brentford reacted well and should have had a punishment after seven minutes when Coulibaly Kevin Schade stumbled into the area. Referee Tony Harrington waved the protests with Vary, which bizarre supports his call.
A shame threatened again after 12 minutes, but Coulibaly was good to block his shot on the long post.
Wissa opens the evaluation
Brentford began to dominate and it was no surprise when she took the lead after 17 minutes. The ball broke for Mikkel Damsgaard on the edge of the area and his created passport chose Wissa, who reacted to the Leicester defenders to shoot Mads Hermansen.
Flekken saved again from Vardy before Brentford scored her second point in the weak challenge of Victor Kristiansen after 27 minutes and shot an excellent shot with the left foot into the back corner.

Songs of “You are not fit to wear the shirt” from the Leicester fans echoed the ground and the trouble increased shortly after half an hour when Norgaard climbed unchallenged to lead Mbumo’s open flap on the net.

Leicester’s frustration threatened to have booked with Coulibaly and the Hapless Caleb Okoli after reckless challenges.
And it could have been worse for the home team in the injury of the first half. Keane Lewis-Potter saw a handball after bundling the ball into the net after a nice block from Hermansen.
Second half won a non-event with the game
Van Nistelrooy made two changes during the break and dragged Coulibaly and Bobby de Cordova series off, but it made little difference when Brentford drove through the second half without ever getting out of second gear.
However, they still created the strange chance, and Hermansen, who was the only Leicester player together with Vardy who appeared with loans, produced a brilliant stop to refuse Yehor Yarmoliuk after horny to another tempting MBeumo cross.
There was little what he could do to prevent Brentford from confiscating their victory two minutes before the end.
Hermansen saved well from the impressive Mbumo, but Carvalho was on hand to shoot into the empty network.
The defeat means that Leicester has lost her last six Premier League games at home without scoring a single goal.
