We move to the 5th round!

Leicester came back to defeat Brentford 3-1 in snowy West London in the 4th round of the FA Cup on Sunday. The Bees took a shock lead through Sorensen in the first 10 minutes, but second half strikes by Under, Maddison and Tielemans penalty saw City eased through to the 5th round

Rodgers had the luxury of ringing in the changes and still fielding a star-studded side. Ward was the man between the sticks behind Riccy P, Amartey, Souyuncu and Thomas. Captain Youri Tielemans partnered with Mendy anchoring the midfield being attacking players Under, Maddison and Barnes, with Perez upfront as the lone Striker.

The Foxes came out of the gate flying, with Under getting behind the defense twice in the opening first five minutes. The First time Ayoze met his cut-back but put his first time effort wide. the next time, Under forcing the Bees’ keeper to make a save.

After surrendering the lead, City resumed their serial creation of chances with Barnes, Ünder, Tielemans, and Madders all seeing presentable efforts turned wide or just going wide without any defensive intervention. Brentford seemed to employing a somewhat cynical and highly effective strategy of giving up corners and free kicks at the first sign of danger. Given that Leicester had yet to score from a dead ball this season, it wasn’t a bad idea.
