Leicester earn first Premier League win, drop Forest into last place

LEICESTER, England: Getting 22 new signings to gel is proving to be a mightily difficult task for Nottingham Forest manager Steve Cooper.

A 4-0 loss at previously winless Leicester dropped Forest into last place in the English Premier League on Monday, leaving Cooper at risk of becoming the latest top-flight manager to lose his job.

In front of the club’s Thai owner, Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha, who flew in for the match, Leicester earned some respite with a dominant display that ended a six-match losing run.

James Maddison scored two — one being a curling free kick in off the far post — while Harvey Barnes and substitute Patson Daka, with a deft flick from Maddison’s cross, added the others at a rocking King Power Stadium.

Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers said his struggling players were "giving everything" after a frustrating goalless draw with Crystal Palace on Saturday left them in deep trouble in the Premier League relegation zone. The single point at the King Power Stadium took Leicester to five points -- level with Nottingham Forest, who were left rock bottom by virtue of an inferior goal difference. Leicester's only league win this season was a 4-0 victory against Forest earlier this month but that proved to be a false dawn for the 2016 champions.
