The relegation alarm bells are ringing loud and clear for Leicester City as they fell to a 5-3 Premier League defeat against Fulham on Monday.
Dean Smith's side suffered first-half nightmare as they went in at the break three goals down as Willian, Carlos Vinicius and Tom Cairney all took advantage of woeful Foxes defending.
Cairney grabbed his second to make it 4-0 before Harvey Barnes pulled a goal back for the visitors, who then saw Jamie Vardy miss a 66th-minute penalty.
Willian restored Fulham's four-goal lead before James Maddison succeeded where Vardy failed by grabbing Leicester's second from the spot nine minutes from time, while Barnes scored a late third. “We didn't start the game with enough urgency and gave really poor goals away,” said Leicester manager Smith. “First half is what killed us, you can't give three-goal leads at this level and expect to come back. “We showed some spirit and I would expect that.
