Brighton & Hove Albion vs Leicester City LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Graham Potter and Brendan Rodgers face off at the Amex Stadium with important Premier League points at stake
Bottom-of-the-table Leicester City failed to ease mounting pressure on manager Brendan Rodgers after their winless start was extended by a thumping 5-2 defeat at high-flying Brighton and Hove Albion.
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 defeat.
The visitors were level at half-time at the Amex Stadium thanks to Patson Daka after a Luke Thomas own goal and a Moises Caicedo strike overturned Kelechi Iheanacho’s first-minute opener.
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. City would also have lost by a bigger margin had Mac Allister not had a stunning long-range strike ruled out for offside against Enock Mwepu following a lengthy VAR check.

Brighton are all over Leicester at the moment, they look shocked at the home sides response and are struggling to cope with the quick football they are playing in the final third.

There's an excellent pace to the game so far, with Brighton looking dangerous on the attack in the final third and it looks like we could see a few goals today.
