It never rains but it pours. Leicester fans started streaming out after Brentford made it 3-0 just after the half-hour mark and those who did stay to brave a torrential second-half downpour were left with the depressing claim to fame that they were there to witness an English top-flight team lose a sixth consecutive home league game without scoring for the first time in history.
Leicester have lost 10 of their last 11 Premier League games – thank goodness they faced Tottenham in the midst of this run – and faith that they can retain their status is starting to run out. Even Ruud van Nistelrooy appeared to be admitting his players are not good enough to stay up.
