Brighton nailed Leicester to the floor. He has cemented his position in the Top 4

Brighton continue to ride the new season and stay in the top four. Graham Potter’s men dominated Leicester this time with a score of 5-2, despite being down from the first minute. The Foxes, on the other hand, are at the bottom of the table with just one point.

Ahead of the Premier League Round 6 match between Brighton and Leicester, the mood in both camps was different. Brighton had a great start to the season, winning three times, drawing once and suffering their only defeat to Fulham.

Brendan Rodgers and his charges had to deal with the opposite problems. They only took a point from their first game, after that they scored four defeats in a row and the pressure on the team and the coach increased.

The Foxes went into the lead at the Amex Stadium after less than a minute of play thanks to Kelechi Iheanacho. The visitors’ lead only lasted until the tenth minute when Solomon March ran onto the far post and with an unwanted contribution from Luke Thomas, he smuggled the ball into the net. The turnaround was completed five minutes later when Moisés Caicedo fired past Danny Ward.

However, the visitors were not going to accept their fate. In the 33rd minute, Patson Daka capitalised on a superb pass from Youri Tielemans. The game was tied 2:2.

The second half was already in the home team’s hands. Alexis Mac Allister’s 47th minute goal was disallowed after VAR review revealed a previous offside. However, in the 64th minute, VAR did not spoil the home team’s joy and they were able to take a 3-2 lead after Leandro Trossard’s goal.

Alexis Mac Allister scored twice more before the end of the match and the 5: 2 victory, which guaranteed Brighton staying in the Top 4 at least until the next round, was in the world.

The opposite problem plagued Leicester. After six rounds they have only one point and the pressure on the team, especially on coach Brendan Rodgers, is growing. In the next round, the Foxes welcome Aston Villa at home. The question mark is whether the Northern Irish coach will still be there.
