Leicester hit historic low in Brentford rout
LEICESTER, United Kingdom: Leicester’s bid to avoid relegation from the Premier League hit a historic low as Brentford cruised to a 4-0 win at the King Power Stadium on Friday. Ruud van Nistelrooy’s side would have moved out of the relegation zone with a victory, but instead they remain two points from safety.

If he could be forgiven for the result on that occasion, there were no excuses for the Dutchman this time. Jamie Vardy needs two goals to reach 200 in all competitions for Leicester and the veteran striker
