Leicester City Suffer Heavy 4-0 Defeat to Brentford as Home Struggles Continue

Leicester City’s woeful home form hit a new low as Brentford cruised to a 4-0 victory at the King Power Stadium, extending the Foxes’ winless run at home to seven games.

Brentford Dominate as Leicester Fans Turn on the Team

Goals from Yoane Wissa, Bryan Mbeumo, Christian Norgaard, and Fabio Carvalho sealed a commanding win for Thomas Frank’s side, sparking boos and early exits from frustrated Leicester fans before halftime.

The Bees took control in a ruthless 15-minute spell, with Mikkel Damsgaard setting up both Wissa and Mbeumo before delivering a pinpoint free-kick that Norgaard headed home.

Brentford could have extended their lead further, with Kevin Schade hitting the woodwork and Keane Lewis-Potter seeing a goal disallowed for handball.

“Leicester seem lost on the pitch,” said former club captain Wes Morgan on Sky Sports. Ex-Leicester striker Alan Smith added, “Many players don’t want the ball, and when they do, they don’t know what to do with it.”

Leicester’s Second-Half Misery Continues

As the rain poured down in the second half, Brentford comfortably saw out the game. The loudest cheers from home supporters came ironically, as fan favorites Stephy Mavididi and Facundo Buonanotte were introduced early in the second period.

Brentford added a late fourth goal through Fabio Carvalho, rounding off an impressive display that secured a club-record fourth consecutive Premier League away win.

Leicester’s Goal Drought Reaches Crisis Point

Leicester’s struggles in attack continued as they failed to score for a sixth straight home game. Their last goal at the King Power Stadium came on December 8 against Brighton—a shocking statistic for a team once known for their attacking flair.

Brentford’s European Push Gains Momentum

For Brentford, this victory marked their first back-to-back wins of the season and pushed them closer to the race for European qualification. After failing to win a single away game earlier in the season, they have now secured four straight victories on the road—a club record.

Leicester, meanwhile, must find answers quickly as pressure mounts on manager Ruud van Nistelrooy with their Premier League survival hopes hanging in the balance.
