Brighton vs Leicester City

Graham Potter and Brendan Rodgers face off at the Amex Stadium with important Premier League points at stake.

However, they finally got their third through Trossard just past the hour, before Mac Allister converted from the penalty spot and then scored a superb free-kick in stoppage time to add a fifth. [Leandro Trossard](/topic/leandro-trossard)’s second-half finish and Alexis Mac Allister’s double – a penalty followed by a stunning late free-kick – condemned the struggling Foxes to a fifth-successive [Premier League](/topic/premier-league) defeat. But they were outclassed for the duration of the second period and have now taken just one point from a possible 18, leading to a ‘Rodgers Out’ banner being unfurled in the disgruntled away end at full-time.

Brighton vs Leicester live: The Seagulls will try to rebound from their first lost of the Premier League season when they host the winless Foxes on Sunday.

It’s hard to disagree with Rodgers’ assessment that Leicester are a worse off side now than when the transfer window opened, when so many other mid-table and bottom-half sides did plenty of business to get better. Of course, as has been the case for the entirety of Brighton’s time in the Premier League, the goals aren’t yet flooding in at the other end of the field, leaving the margins much too fine on far too many occasions. The results are down to me, I am the manager, and we need to go away and work even harder and get that first win.” Justin and Thomas are good going forward so maybe the idea will be to go to a three-CB set at some point, but at constructed? But the investment and relative strength of two newly-promoted clubs and a pair of wins for the third seem to indicate that we’ve reached an age where a more traditional Premier League club could go down this year. Someone weird is going down this year, and Leicester has to internalize that: The Foxes won the Premier League in recent memory and have been to European competition more than once.

Alexis Mac Allister hit a double as Brighton piles yet more misery on Leicester.

“You don’t tend to see anything like this number of dodgy calls in Serie A or Ligue 1.” March has a touch and splats a rising shot that is pushed round the near post by Ward. 80 min A corner is spilled by Ward, who is relieved to grab it at the second attempt. He cleverly allowed the ball to run across his body to make the angle for a flicked pass to Trossard in the area. If they can’t, then the decision on the pitch should stand. The home side recovered from the shock of conceding after 51 seconds to dominate a very open game, with Alexis Mac Allister scoring twice and having a screamer ruled out by VAR. He protects the ball on the edge of the area, despite being surrounded, and eventually finds March to his left. If it looks like a howler in full speed replay then VAR intervenes, otherwise it stays in its hole and the on-field decision stands.” They are certainly one of the most likeable. “The only way I see it having any value is giving VAR a short time limit, say 20 seconds, to overturn the decision using full speed replays. Their fantastic start to the season puts them fourth entirely on merit: a point behind City and Spurs with the same number of games played. Leicester stay bottom, having lost five games in a row.

STRUGGLING Leicester City will be desperate to put three points on the board in their Sunday afternoon clash with Brighton & Hove Albion.The Seagu.

Mac Allister was given his time to shine again and stepped up to crack home Brighton’s fourth from the spot on 71 minutes before whipping a peach of a free kick into the net in the dying seconds. A host of Albion players were on the wrong side of the Leicester defence as the free-kick came in so there was a delay with getting the lines up to properly check the offside. Graham Potter shook his head in fury at the chaotic review and to make matters worse it was then chalked off due to Mwepu being offside and making contact before the ball fell to Mac Allister. Brighton were bossing it and another blow was inflicted on Leicester as Trossard was shoved over by Ndidi down the byline and Harrington pointed to the spot. There was another blistering start to the second-half with Brighton looking as though they had nudged back in front with a third goal on 47 minutes. ‘YOU’RE getting sacked in the morning’ rang around the Amex as Brighton heaped more misery on Brendan Rodgers and Leicester.
