Keeping in line with Financial Fair Play regulations is apparently the main factor behind Leicester City's conservative approach to summer spending. Brighton hit back as Trossard is found on the left. You think he's got enough credit in the bank to avoid that and it's not his fault they've not been able to spend this summer, but, to coin an old phrase, football is a funny old game. He'll fit into the group and add competition in midfield. Brendon Rodgers' men are bottom of the table, without a win and it's all doom and gloom. It wasn’t his, but there was still time for further humiliation in the seventh minute of added time when Mac Allister curled a delicious free kick into Ward’s top right-hand corner. The second period seemed to have started with as bigger bang as the first when Alexis Mac Allister spectacularly fired past Ward from the edge of the area after Gross’s free kick was half-cleared. Thomas’s early yellow card was a blessing to his tormenter March and to illustrate just how fragile Leicester’s morale was, when Wilfred Ndidi’s wretched backpass was met by an equally wretched Ward touch Welbeck robbed nervy goalkeeper and clipped the ball onto the roof of the net. Enock Mwepu, hurtled forward and played a the perfect pass into the path of the onrushing and unchaperoned Moises Caicedo, who neatly slotted his first of the season beyond Danny Ward. Tielemans launched a long ball forwards, Lewis Dunk completely misread it and Daka ran on to carefully guide his season’s first past Robert Sanchez. It took them just 14 to take the lead. Brighton had 89 minutes to rescue the game.

Brighton vs Leicester live: The Seagulls will try to rebound from their first lost of the Premier League season when they host the winless Foxes on Sunday.

It’s hard to disagree with Rodgers’ assessment that Leicester are a worse off side now than when the transfer window opened, when so many other mid-table and bottom-half sides did plenty of business to get better. Of course, as has been the case for the entirety of Brighton’s time in the Premier League, the goals aren’t yet flooding in at the other end of the field, leaving the margins much too fine on far too many occasions. The results are down to me, I am the manager, and we need to go away and work even harder and get that first win.” Justin and Thomas are good going forward so maybe the idea will be to go to a three-CB set at some point, but at constructed? But the investment and relative strength of two newly-promoted clubs and a pair of wins for the third seem to indicate that we’ve reached an age where a more traditional Premier League club could go down this year. Someone weird is going down this year, and Leicester has to internalize that: The Foxes won the Premier League in recent memory and have been to European competition more than once.

Life came at the Foxes boss fast as Kelechi Iheanacho took the lead in just 52 seconds to hand Leicester a shred of wafer-thin confidence after a hellish start ...

Mac Allister was given his time to shine again and stepped up to crack home Brighton’s fourth from the spot on 71 minutes before whipping a peach of a free kick into the net in the dying seconds. Brighton were bossing it and another blow was inflicted on Leicester as Trossard was shoved over by Ndidi down the byline and Harrington pointed to the spot. A host of Albion players were on the wrong side of the Leicester defence as the free-kick came in so there was a delay with getting the lines up to properly check the offside. Trossard picked up the pieces by linking up with Gross before darting in the box and unleashing a low drive into the far corner on 64 minutes. There was another blistering start to the second-half with Brighton looking as though they had nudged back in front with a third goal on 47 minutes. But what came next was the ultimate capitulation as Brighton hit back with a leveller from Solly March, thanks to a Luke Thomas deflection and a goal from Moises Caicedo within just five minutes of each other.
