James Maddison admits Leicester City's defensive woes are undermining their survival efforts as they continue to flounder alongside Leeds United in the Premier League relegation battle. Leicester were thrashed 5-3 at Fulham on Bank Holiday Monday, with victories for relegation rivals Everton and Nottingham Forest enough to see both the Foxes and Leeds drop into the bottom three, level on 30 points with three games remaining.
Leicester have leading 64 goals in 35 games so far, with only Forest (65), Bournemouth (67), and Leeds (69) conceding more. And, asked after the defeat at Craven Cottage whether 'defensive disorganisation' was the problem against Fulham once again, Maddison admitted: "We conceded five goals, what do you think?
"The problem has never really been about scoring goals with us, we've got players that will score goals. We just can't get the defensive things right and that's why we are where we are.
