Amartey failed to close down Josh Dasilva on the edge of the area, allowing the substitute to curl a shot past the stranded Ward and secure the draw for the visitors. For a full hour, the Foxes looked like they would coast to an easy victory. If the intent was to slow the match down and prevent Brentford from getting back into the match, it didn’t work. Things were ever so comfortable for Leicester for the first quarter-hour of the second half when, out of nothing, Brentford got one back. The Shepshed Pirlo unleashed an unstoppable drive into the corner of the net to double the City advantage. On 33’, the Foxes opened the scoring in exactly the fashion one would have anticipated: A corner from Maddison found Castagne’s near-post run.

Josh Dasilva scored a late equaliser for Brentford in a 2-2 Premier League draw against Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.

“Coming back from 2-0 down to 2-2 is a massive moment. But Brentford kept believing and Frank finished the happier manager. They may not have made any signings but Rodgers did a fine job of fielding a new shape after losing Harvey Barnes and Ricardo Pereira to injury last week. Tielemans shot against a post before Leicester converted their territorial dominance into a two-goal lead 25 seconds into the second half. “If you’re chasing the game, it’s on you to try and change it.” 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.

"Toney finishes well and the momentum swings a little bit. "We started in the 4-3-3 then changed to 3-5-2 and then I changed to 3-4-3 to have one more offensive player in the middle of the park," he explained. "Up until that first hour, we'd played really well. With his side trailing 2-0, Frank brought on Keane Lewis-Potter and Dasilva in the 59th minute and switched to a 3-4-3. Finding a solution to that, and keeping hold of their stars ahead of the transfer deadline will be high on the agenda for Rodgers in the coming weeks. Leicester were bright and two of the players linked with moves away in Maddison and Wesley Fofana were at the heart of it. Kasper Schmeichel left the club and a number of their top names have been linked with moves away from the King Power Stadium. On the other hand, Leicester are the only club in Europe's top five leagues not to make a signing. "Of course we made a few changes and changes to the system with a lot of offensive players, but that's something we've been practising, and we've wanted to do. "In the moment you're just celebrating and you're very happy, but after thinking what I should say to him in the dressing room I actually got almost emotional because he's been out for 18 months and it's a player I've been working with for four years. It set up a grandstand finish and Brentford might have been forgiven for thinking their chances of an equaliser were gone when Toney headed wide from close range, but, with time running out, Dasilva stepped up and curled home a stunning equaliser to complete the Bees' comeback. "Then the way it paid off was a fantastic feeling, especially with the story of Josh Dasilva."
