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.

Good chance! Iheanacho cuts inside from the left, skips past a couple of Brighton defenders and drills a low strike towards the bottom right corner, but it takes a big deflection and goes wide for a corner.

Brighton have seen more of the ball since going behind, they are controlling possession and Leicester are sitting deep and soaking up the pressure.

Decent effort! Brighton take a free-kick on the edge of the penalty area short in order to work a better shooting angle. However, March drills his effort wide of the Leicester goal.
