AFCON 2025
Wilfred Ndidi endured a frustrating night as Leicester City fell to a 4-0 defeat at home to Brentford on Friday, further deepening their relegation woes.
The Bees dominated from start to finish, with Bryan Mbeumo scoring a goal and providing an assist.
Leicester’s Jamie Vardy had an early chance, but Mark Flekken made a great save to deny him. Instead, it was Brentford who took the lead through Yoane Wissa’s goal, set up by Mikkel Damsgaard’s clever pass.
Mbeumo doubled the lead with a beautiful strike, and Christian Nørgaard headed in a third from Mbeumo’s set-piece delivery. The Foxes struggled to cope with Brentford’s attacking threat, and the visitors almost added more goals in the second half.
Fábio Carvalho eventually sealed the win with a late goal, capping off a miserable day for Leicester.
The defeat piles pressure on boss Ruud van Nistelrooy, who now faces an uphill task to save the Foxes from relegation.
