Brentford suffered a defeat despite a second-half rally at the King Power Stadium, where Yoane Wissa scored a late goal.

Timothy Castagne and James Maddison scored with brilliant first-half strikes for Leicester

Castagne curled an effort into the top corner from outside the box after being set up by Harvey Barnes’ cutback.

And Maddison doubled the lead with a fantastic 25-yard free-kick shortly after the half-hour mark.

Brentford pulled one back when Wissa fired home from near the edge of the area after being found by Bryan Mbeumo.

Foxes keeper Kasper Schmeichel prevented an equaliser by keeping out a deflected shot from Tariqe Fosu, who came on as a second-half substitute for his Premier League debut.
