Managing the new allowance of five substitutes will be a key factor in the Premier League this autumn and Thomas Frank’s decision to utilise all of his replacements encouraged Brentford to rally from 2-0 down to earn a point courtesy of Josh Dasilva’s late equaliser.
Leicester, seemingly cruising to victory with goals from Timothy Castagne and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall just reward for their excellent first hour, dropped off in the East Midlands heat but made only one change. Brentford, meanwhile, were the better side from when Ivan Toney scored with half an hour to go and it was no surprise when Dasilva, granted the freedom to advance forwards and cut inside, swerved home a fine goal four minutes from time.
