Brighton & Hove Albion vs Leicester City LIVE: Premier League ... (The Independent)

Graham Potter and Brendan Rodgers face off at the Amex Stadium with important Premier League points at stake.

However, they finally got their third through Trossard just past the hour, before Mac Allister converted from the penalty spot and then scored a superb free-kick in stoppage time to add a fifth. [Leandro Trossard](/topic/leandro-trossard)’s second-half finish and Alexis Mac Allister’s double – a penalty followed by a stunning late free-kick – condemned the struggling Foxes to a fifth-successive [Premier League](/topic/premier-league) defeat.

Brighton & Hove Albion 5-2 Leicester City: Premier League – as it ... (The Guardian)

Alexis Mac Allister hit a double as Brighton piles yet more misery on Leicester.

“You don’t tend to see anything like this number of dodgy calls in Serie A or Ligue 1.” March has a touch and splats a rising shot that is pushed round the near post by Ward. 80 min A corner is spilled by Ward, who is relieved to grab it at the second attempt. He cleverly allowed the ball to run across his body to make the angle for a flicked pass to Trossard in the area. If they can’t, then the decision on the pitch should stand. The home side recovered from the shock of conceding after 51 seconds to dominate a very open game, with Alexis Mac Allister scoring twice and having a screamer ruled out by VAR. He protects the ball on the edge of the area, despite being surrounded, and eventually finds March to his left. If it looks like a howler in full speed replay then VAR intervenes, otherwise it stays in its hole and the on-field decision stands.” They are certainly one of the most likeable. “The only way I see it having any value is giving VAR a short time limit, say 20 seconds, to overturn the decision using full speed replays. Their fantastic start to the season puts them fourth entirely on merit: a point behind City and Spurs with the same number of games played. Leicester stay bottom, having lost five games in a row.

As nice as it was to see both strikers get goals, you got the sense it would be a long day when we lined up with a midfielder in the back four and no defensive midfielder. Those slackers from the south coast took almost twice as long as the Foxes did to get the ball in the back of the net in the first. He drew Ward in and then lashed the ball inside to the far post. Mac Allister took it and blasted down the middle with Ward diving to his right. He had all the time in the world to pick out a cross to the back post. Rodgers made a triple substitution, sending Daniel Amartey, Dewsbury-Hall, and Vardy into the fray for Soumare, Iheanacho, and Tielemans. Madders gave the ball away in the midfield allowing Brighton to break. Danny Welbeck took it off him, but the striker’s attempted lob found the roof of the net. It was all Seagulls in the second half as Leandro Trossard gave Brighton the lead and Alexis Mac Allister scored through a penalty and a free kick. Solly March rose highest to head back across the box, but Thomas got in the way and turned into the net for an own goal. He touched it Barnes, who reversed it to Daka on the left. [Leicester City](https://fosseposse.sbnation.com) were overwhelmed by Brighton and Hove Albion by a margin of five goals to two Sunday morning at the Amex.
