Leicester City's struggles in the Premier League continue to mount, with the team suffering a dismal 4-0 defeat at the hands of Brentford. This loss marks their sixth consecutive home defeat, a new record in English top-flight history, and leaves them second bottom in the table. The pressure is mounting on manager Ruud van Nistelrooy, who has been in charge for just 84 days, and the team's defensive woes show no signs of improvement.
The match against Brentford was a disaster from the start, with the visitors taking the lead in the 17th minute through Yoane Wissa. Bryan Mbeumo added a second 10 minutes later, and Christian Nørgaard made it 3-0 before halftime. The rout was completed in the second half with a late goal from Fábio Carvalho. The defeat has left Leicester fans frustrated and disillusioned, with many calling for change at the top of the club.
The team's poor form has been a concern for some time, with 10 defeats in their last 11 league games. The lack of goals from the team's attacking players has been a major issue, and the defense has been unable to keep clean sheets. The situation is alarming, and the team's chances of survival look increasingly slim. Despite the efforts of players like Jamie Vardy, the team's overall performance has been disappointing, and the fans are growing restless.
Here are the match scores from the recent games:
- Leicester City 0, Brentford 4
- Leicester City 0, Arsenal 2
- Everton 4, Leicester City 0
Despite the gloom surrounding the club, there are still some positives to take from the situation. The team is not cut adrift in the table, and they are still level on points with Ipswich in 18th place. However, the gap between them and safety is growing, and they need to start winning games quickly if they are to have any chance of survival. The fans are still supportive, but their patience is wearing thin, and they expect to see some improvement soon.
