BRENTFORD HAD A GREAT DAY AT THE OFFICE YESTERDAY, WITH AN ABUNDANCE OF ENERGETIC GOALS FROM YOANNE WISSA AT 17 MINS., BRYAM MBEUMO AT 27 MINS., AND CHRISTIANO NORGAARD AT 43 MINS. (ALL BEFORE THE END OF THE FIRST-HALF! IMAGINE THE LEICESTER CITY DRESSING ROOM AT HALF-TIME😒) IN TOTAL, BRENTFORD HAD 14 SHOTS, WITH 6 ON TARGET, INCLUDED ANOTHER CRACKING LATE GOAL FROM A SPRITELY FABIO CARVALHO AT 89 MINS., WHO HAD JUST BEEN SUBBED OFF THE BENCH, AND LEICESTER CITY HAD 6 SHOTS, WITH 3 ON TARGET, INCLUDING A COUPLE OF SUPERB ATTEMPTS FROM JAMIE VARDY, WHICH HE COULDN’T GET PAST AN EXTREMELY COMPETENT MARK FLEKKEN.
YOANNE WISSA CELEBRATES SCORING THE FIRST GOAL OF THE MATCH AT 17 MINS.
THE GAME CULMINATED IN A 4 – 0 WIN TO BRENTFORD, BUT THERE WAS ‘MUTINY ON THE HORIZON’, WITH A DISCONTENTED LEICESTER CROWD CHANTING ‘SACK THE BOARD’, AS LEICESTER HAVE BEEN A BIT UNLUCKY RECENTLY! LEICESTER NOW STAY AT 19TH PLACE IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE, WITH BRENTFORD 11TH.
THOMAS FRANK SPEAKS AFTER THE MATCH
“I THINK I WOULD GO AS FAR AS SAYING WE HAVE A FRONT FOUR AND DAMSGAARD REALLY GETS THEM GOING. THE SECOND GOAL, A GREAT RUN FROM WISSA TO OPEN UP THE SPACE FOR BRYAN AND THEN OF COURSE HE DOES THE HARD WORK. THE WAY THEY CONNECT, I THINK IN THE FRONT FOUR WE HAVE ALL THE ABILITIES YOU NEED. IT’S OK.”
RUUD VAN NISTELROOY SPEAKS AFTER THE MATCH
“YOU HAVE TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT’S A HUGE STEP BACK. THERE WAS HOPE AFTER RECENT PERFORMANCES, THE BEGINNING OF THE GAME WAS HOPEFUL WITH THREE CHANCES. IT COULD HAVE CHANGED THE GAME. AFTER THE BRIGHT START FROM US WE WERE NEVER IN THE GAME AGAIN AND AT HALF-TIME, THE GAME WAS DONE.”
