So that is all we have time for on Tribe as Brentford take all three points. I have been Elliot Thompson and thank you for joining me. Stay with us on Tribe for live coverage of West Ham against Arsenal. That kicks off in just under 25 minutes.
That win takes Brentford up to seventh place on 20 points as they are now just three off second place. Next up for them is an away game against Aston Villa in the week. Leicester City remain in 16th place as Ipswich Town, Wolves and Crystal Palace all lost today. Ruud van Nistelrooy's first game in the week will be at home against West Ham United.
Ruud van Nistelrooy will now know that he has it all to do to get this Leicester City side playing some good football as well as getting them away from the bottom three. It was clear today that Steve Cooper's backroom staff were still in charge as the football was unimaginative from the off. They did take the lead through Buonanotte who got on the end of a Vardy cross for a tap-in. The defensive shape after that though was dreadful as Brentford picked them apart with ease. So Van Nistelrooy has a lot to do when he takes over tomorrow.
BRENTFORD WIN AT HOME YET AGAIN! Thomas Frank's side to back to winning ways in a very comfortable fashion. They did fall behind in the first half but that didn't last long as the Kevin Schade show began. He set up the equaliser squaring the ball over to Wissa for a tap-in. The second goal was his first as he got on the end of a deflected cross. He fired home beyond Hermansen at the near post. His second came just before the break as Damsgaard slid him in with a fantastic through ball. Schade took a touch and lobbed it over Hermansen from a tight angle. In the second half, Schade managed to get his first hat-trick in the Premier League. Collins sent him through on goal with an immaculate pass. Schade ran ahead of Faes before sliding the ball home. Brentford dominated the ball after that as they comfortably saw the game out without any fuss. Another entertaining day for the home fans!
90+2'
Brentford are managing the end of this one with lots of short passes around the back. Collins steps forward into midfield. He passes it across to Pinnock who is pressed by Daka. Pinnock dribbles past him and finds Lewis-Potter on the left wing. Leicester players want this final whistle now.
+4
89'
Ndidi wins the ball off Carvalho in midfield and runs forward. He passes out wide to De-Cordova-Reid on the right wing. After one touch he sends in a cross towards Daka. Pinnock nudges him out of the way ever so slightly allowing Flekken to collect the ball. It just hasn't happened for Leicester today.
86'
Mbeumo floats in a free-kick to the right side of the box. Collins wins the header but doesn't direct it across the area. He tries to get onto his own flick-on but the ball is well out when he meets it. Hermansen goes long with his goal-kick over to Justin on the right flank.
83'
Thomas Frank makes his final substitution as Van den Berg comes off for Mads Roerslev at right-back. A simple case of giving Van den Berg a little rest.
