Leicester City 0-4 Brentford: Crushing defeat piles more pressure on Van NistelrooyShareRuud van Nistelrooy's Leicester fell to a sixth straight home defeat in the Premier League, being trounced by an impressive Brentford side.Brentford made it four straight Premier League away wins and deepened Leicester City's relegation fears with a thumping 4-0 win at the King Power Stadium.Three goals in the space of 15 first-half minutes put Thomas Frank's Bees in command on Friday, with Yoane Wissa, Bryan Mbeumo and Christian Norgaard all netting.The outstanding Mikkel Damsgaard assisted the first two goals, picking out Wissa with a sumptuous pass for the 17th-minute opener, before finding Mbeumo free in the area for a curled finish.Brentford were in cruise control when Norgaard nodded an Mbeumo free-kick home for their 32nd-minute third, and they could have had a fourth goal before half-time.Kevin Schade nodded against the post, then Keane Lewis-Potter's scruffy finish was disallowed, as the ball bounced off his arm before nestling in the bottom-left corner.Leicester never threatened a fightback, and only a spectacular fingertip save from Mads Hermansen prevented Yehor Yarmoliuk's header from making it four after the break.Some more pitiful defending from Ruud van Nistelrooy's men ensured Brentford did add a fourth at the death, Fabio Carvalho drilling home following a goalmouth scramble.After a 10th defeat in their last 11 league games, Leicester stay 19th, two points adrift of 17th-place Wolves, who have a game in hand.Brentford, meanwhile, are up to 10th, four points off the top seven.Data Debrief: Leicester plumb new depthsLeicester made an unwanted piece of English top-flight history as they endured another miserable outing at the King Power Stadium.They have now suffered six straight league defeats on their own turf, losing those games by an aggregate score of 15-0.This is the longest ever run of home losses without scoring a goal by any team in English top-flight history. The next three visitors to the King Power are Manchester United, Newcastle United and Liverpool, with Southampton and Ipswich also to come before the season's end.Brentford, meanwhile, have won four straight away games in the top flight for the very first time. They are also enjoying the longest ongoing away winning run in the Premier League.Leicester City 0-4 Brentford: Crushing defeat piles more pressure on Van NistelrooyRuud van Nistelrooy's Leicester fell to a sixth straight home defeat in the Premier League, being trounced by an impressive Brentford side.Brentford made it four straight Premier League away wins and deepened Leicester City's relegation fears with a thumping 4-0 win at the King Power Stadium.Three goals in the space of 15 first-half minutes put Thomas Frank's Bees in command on Friday, with Yoane Wissa, Bryan Mbeumo and Christian Norgaard all netting.The outstanding Mikkel Damsgaard assisted the first two goals, picking out Wissa with a sumptuous pass for the 17th-minute opener, before finding Mbeumo free in the area for a curled finish.Brentford were in cruise control when Norgaard nodded an Mbeumo free-kick home for their 32nd-minute third, and they could have had a fourth goal before half-time.Kevin Schade nodded against the post, then Keane Lewis-Potter's scruffy finish was disallowed, as the ball bounced off his arm before nestling in the bottom-left corner.Leicester never threatened a fightback, and only a spectacular fingertip save from Mads Hermansen prevented Yehor Yarmoliuk's header from making it four after the break.Some more pitiful defending from Ruud van Nistelrooy's men ensured Brentford did add a fourth at the death, Fabio Carvalho drilling home following a goalmouth scramble.After a 10th defeat in their last 11 league games, Leicester stay 19th, two points adrift of 17th-place Wolves, who have a game in hand.Brentford, meanwhile, are up to 10th, four points off the top seven.Data Debrief: Leicester plumb new depthsLeicester made an unwanted piece of English top-flight history as they endured another miserable outing at the King Power Stadium.They have now suffered six straight league defeats on their own turf, losing those games by an aggregate score of 15-0.This is the longest ever run of home losses without scoring a goal by any team in English top-flight history. The next three visitors to the King Power are Manchester United, Newcastle United and Liverpool, with Southampton and Ipswich also to come before the season's end.Brentford, meanwhile, have won four straight away games in the top flight for the very first time.
