In their first game after sacking Steve Cooper, Leicester City make it five games without a win in all competitions. The last win for The Foxes was back in October in an away win against Southampton.
Leicester's new manager Ruud Van Nistelrooy was not in charge of this match, with the responsibility going to Ben Dawson. However, the new coach watched from the stands of the Gtech Community Stadium.
From the kick off Brentford took control of the game and kept piling on the pressure of the Leicester backline. Leicester playing with a back five this game.
Leicester strike first against the run of play
However, it would be Leicester to score first thanks to a counter-attack against the run of play. Jamie Vardy and his cross was put into the back of the net by Facundo Buonanotte 21 minutes in.
The away side's lead would not last for long as the in-form Yoane Wissa would equalise the game only four minutes later. Another ball into the box would put the home side in a deserved lead as Caleb Okoli would be taken off for some treatment following a collision with goalkeeper Mads Hermansen.
29 minutes in and Kevin Schade would score his first goal in the Premier League this season. Brentford's constant pressure would be handsomely rewarded
It would go from bad to worse for Leicester as Caleb Okoli would be forced off due to injury in the 35th minute. Jannik Vestergaard would be the one to replace the Italian defender.
Brentford would also be forced into an early change as Vitaly Janelt would have a hamstring problem. Mathias Jensen would replace the midfielder.
Both injuries made would mean that there would be seven minutes of added time where Brentford would add another goal. Kevin Schade would be the goalscorer once again, equalling his total number of goals since he has been with the club.
Brentford would come out from half time still looking for more goals as they pressed the away side back. The pressure would keep piling on until Leicester would break.
Schade completes his hat-trick
59 minutes in and Kevin Schade would take home the match ball as he got his hat-trick. A simple pass from Nathan Collins would send the German through on goal and putting a simple shot behind Hermansen.
The Bees would lower the tempo of the game after their fourth goal which Leicester could not make anything from. The Foxes would be held to a singular goal and a big defeat away from home.
Leicester City's next game is against another London club, this time it will be West Ham United coming to the King Power. It will be a trial by fire of new boss Ruud Van Nistelrooy, as Leicester need to bring their best to get three points.
Brentford's next game is an away game in the Midlands as they take on Aston Villa. The Villains are on a bad run of league form and Brentford will be looking to make it worse.
Player Ratings:
Mads Hermansen-4
If not for Hermansen, then Leicester may well have conceded a significant amount more than simply four goals.
However, another four goals conceded by the Danish goalkeeper is a very worrying sign for the club.
James Justin-2
Another game where Justin provides very little on either side of the field and more goals conceded from his side of the field.
This will need to be Van Nistelrooy's first issue he has to fix in order to give Leicester a fighting chance of Premier League survival.
Wout Faes-3
Similarly to Justin, Faes had very little impact during the game with his most notable actions being his headed clearances.
After a poor performance against Chelsea the week prior, Faes could be relegated to the bench if he keeps performing poorly.
Conor Coady-4
His first league start could not come on a worse day for the English defender.
Coady was the best of a bad bunch in the defence, although that bar is not very high with the performances across the backline.
Caleb Okoli-3
Forced off early after colliding with Hermansen, Okoli struggled to keep up with the speed of Schade and Wissa.
His injury is a big concern to the backline though and Foxes fans will be hoping for him to only have a small injury.
Luke Thomas-3
His first appearance in the Premier League and is was easy to see that he got outclassed by Bryan Mbeumo.
Thomas struggled to make any impact on the game and the lack of support on the wings made Leicester a very weak team.
Boubakary Soumare-3
The Frenchman struggled to make anything happen in the midfield and was unable to make many runs past the red and white wall.
A major concern for Leicester has been their control in midfield and Oliver Skipp could be in for some starts for the club.
Wilfrid Ndidi-3
The Nigerian has not hit the levels that he has showed earlier in the season.
A severe lack of midfield control was one of the main reasons why Brentford could score four goals and it has to be fixed quickly.
Jordan Ayew-4
Ayew only misplaced one pass during his time on the pitch and held the ball up well at times.
But his lack of attacking drive means that it is a struggle to give many plaudits to him for this match.
Facundo Buonanotte-4
An early goal from the Argentinian was not enough to save Leicester's fortune.
Apart from the goal, Buonanotte did not make any more attacking plays during the match and was unconvincing at best.
Jamie Vardy-3
Even with an assist during this game, Vardy had yet another poor game up front for the away side.
The captain has struggled to make a big impact during his time back in the Premier League.
Substitutions:
Jannik Vestergaard-4
Coming in for Okoli only 34 minutes in, Vestergaard was on the pitch for half of the goals conceded during the match.
The Danish defender enjoyed a short run of league starts, although was not favoured more than Coady.
Patson Daka-3
The Zambian international made his second Premier League appearance and was unable to break the deadlock.
Subbed on for Jamie Vardy 64 minutes in, Daka could not break past the big Brentford backline.
Oliver Skipp-3
Skipp could not make a big impact, but was the only Leicester player to boast a 100 per cent pass completion this match.
The Englishman has been unable to break into the starting 11, something that fans hope will change under new management.
Stephy Mavididi-3
Not starting in his previous two matches, Mavididi's importance to the squad seems to be getting smaller.
Coming on for Buonanotte, Mavididi could only register one shot on target in the final 20 minutes of the match.
Bobby Reid-3
Reid has struggled for game time this season under former manager Steve Cooper and he is another player that is hoping that will change soon.
After being unable to make an impact in this game Reid will be putting up some impressive performances in training to be considered for the starting eleven.
