That wraps things up here, thanks for joining us here on Tribe. We'll have all the action from the Premier League coming your way over the next few days, so see you next time!
Both sides have to quickly regroup with a midweek round of fixtures on the way in the Premier League. Brentford host Everton on Wednesday night as they look to keep the pressure on the sides above them and challenge for a top-half finish. They move up to 10th on 37 points tonight, just two points behind Aston Villa in 9th. Leicester have a day longer to prepare for a trip to West Ham on Thursday. Based on recent evidence it's hard to make a case for them there. They remain 19th and could be more than two points adrift by the time they next kick off.
Brentford were hugely impressive again tonight to continue their recent resurgence on the road. As soon as Yoane Wissa opened the scoring the Bees were by far the better side, and in truth they could have scored more than the four they did register. Bryan Mbeumo was impressive once again attacking off the right, and his set piece deliveries caused havoc in the Leicester defence on multiple occasions. Fabio Carvalho got a confidence-boosting late goal to add gloss to the scoreline, and in truth the end result doesn't flatter Brentford tonight. They have come away from another newly promoted side with a convincing three points and a decent boost to their goal difference.
Where to now for Leicester? They were simply outclassed once again tonight by a Brentford side who found it far too easy to cut through them in attack. Leicester don't look like scoring many and have now failed to find the back of the net in any of their last six at home in the league. Defensively there is little protection coming from the midfield and that late fourth goal was evident of the dysfunction on the field. Facundo Buonanotte was full of energy and running when he came on but by then the damage was already done. A promising first 15 minutes quickly gave way to another hugely damaging defeat against a side they would have fancied getting a result from at home.
Records extend here for both sides as Brentford achieve a fourth straight Premier League away win in style tonight. Leicester on the other hand slump to a sixth consecutive home league defeat without scoring. They remain rooted in 19th while the visitors move into the top half.

BLOCKED! Brentford aren't done here. Paris Maghoma receives a pass and turns before seeing his strike deflect away from 25 yards. Michael Kayode gathers on the right and fires a low ball in. Jannik Vestergaard deflects it behind for a corner.
