The head of Leicester City, Ruud van Nistelrooy, recognized today’s defeat against Brentford for his fighting side.
Brentford overcame a slow start to drive to a 4-0 victory in the King Power Stadium, with the game ended effectively. Thanks to the gates of Yoane Wissa, Bryan Mbumo and Christian Norgaard, visitors found a lead with three goals.
Fabio Carvalho added a late fourth place when Leicester remained in the relegation zone, two points before safety.
It was a sobering night for Van Nistelrooy when the Leicester fans expressed their displeasure when many went long before the end.

The former Netherlands said to Sky Sports: “You have to acknowledge that it is a big step back. After the latest performances there was hope and the beginning of the game was hopeful with three chances. It could have changed the game. After the bright start of us, we were never back in the game and the game was ready at half time. “
Suffering record -breaking foxes
Leicester Tonight set up an unwanted record this evening after being the first English top side of the story that lost six consecutive home games without a hit.
“We all have to lift ourselves first and then lift each other,” added van Nistelrooy. “This is always the case. Everyone is really disappointed and disappointed with the loss and disappointed with the levels that we have shown today. We have to acknowledge that the level between Brentford and the USA was significant and a concern for future hopes for us. “
Foxes skipper Jamie Vardy fought hard to drive his side, but repeated losses of defensive meant that his efforts were wasting.
The former English international said: “We have to continue working hard. We have provided some decent services and have to make it consistent. We have to train again, look at it and see where everything went wrong.
“There is massive determination. There are three of the lower four who all fight for it. As long as we are with a call, we will concentrate on decent services. “
Superb Brentford win away again
Leicester’s misery was in a strong contrast to Brentford’s joy after winning their fourth exit victory in the Premier League for the first time.
The men of Thomas Frank moved to the 10th place after an excellent display.
He said, “I think we have quite unanimously with performances. This ability to win – these are the first two in a row that we did this season, which is strange. We are on an upward curve, so hopefully we can continue.
“It is not easy to win in the Premier League and not just win. It is definitely not easy to win 4: 0. I have good players, good staff and good leadership.
“I think they are brilliant individual players, but what kind of unit that they create through playing together. A plus one plus one that normally corresponds to 11 for an entire team, but it is 14 or 15 for this team. We have now won twice in a row, but let’s see if we can come three times in a row. “
