Nobody can blame Ben Dawson for making an attempt to strive one thing completely different in his first and solely sport in control of Leicester. The interim supervisor named a really completely different facet at Brentford, in form and personnel, as the incoming Ruud van Nistelrooy watched from the stands. Sadly for him, Kevin Schade’s unbelievable hat-trick on the Gtech not solely inflicted extra distress on the guests, who stay one level above the relegation zone, however proved their issues would require greater than a easy formation change.
Brentford nearly scored inside 5 minutes after Schade’s looping header was palmed on to the roof of the online by a leaping Mads Hermansen.

Leicester’s valiant defensive effort was rewarded when Jamie Vardy shrugged off Ethan Pinnock earlier than offloading the ball in direction of Facundo Buonanotte for a easy tap-in, the Argentinian shushing the house assist in celebration.
The jubilation didn’t final lengthy because the hosts turned it round in just below 9 minutes because of Yoane Wissa’s first-time end for the equaliser. Leicester seemingly switched off after that and Mbeumo instantly discovered himself in area for the second, his ball to an unmarked Schade fired in on the again publish.
The gaps grew to become even clearer for the third after Wilfred Ndidi was caught out of place, permitting Mikkel Damsgaard to slide a move to Schade, with Wout Faes being the one blue shirt to not maintain the road. The German’s neat end bobbled in off the far publish.
The second half introduced extra of the identical, with the guests struggling to keep up any semblance of a defensive form. A lot in order that Nathan Collins felt snug sufficient to step out from Brentford’s backline to search out Schade, whose run between Faes and James Justin felt like deja vu as he netted his workforce’s fourth. It’s troublesome to foretell how Van Nistelrooy will fare at Leicester however the giant Dutch flag that was shortly hidden within the away finish after Schade’s first is a sign that he has his work lower out for him.
