Enock Mwepu was adjudged to have been in an offside position and interfering with play in the build-up. <br \/>The scoreline flattered the visitors, who looked tentative in their defending and have conceded 16 goals in six league games. <br \/>Brighton, who climbed into the top four, travel to south coast rivals Bournemouth on Saturday while Leicester host fellow strugglers Aston Villa in what is shaping up to be a must-win game for Rodgers. <\/div>\n<p><script>!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n                  window.TimesApps = window.TimesApps || {};\n                  const { TimesApps } = window;\n                  TimesApps.loadFBEvents = function() {\n                    (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n                      if (f.fbq) return;\n                      n = f.fbq = function() {\n                        n.callMethod ? n.callMethod(...arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n                      };\n                      if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n                      n.push = n;\n                      n.loaded = !0;\n                      n.version = '2.0';\n                      n.queue = [];\n                      t = b.createElement(e);\n                      t.async = !0;\n                      t.src = v;\n                      s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n                      s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n                    })(f, b, e, v, n, t, s);\n                    fbq('init', '593671331875494');\n                    fbq('track', 'PageView');\n                  };\n                })(\n                  window,\n                  document,\n                  'script',\n                  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js',\n                );<\/script><script>if(typeof window !== 'undefined') {\n                  window.TimesApps = window.TimesApps || {};\n                  const { TimesApps } = window;\n                  TimesApps.loadScriptsOnceAdsReady = () => {\n                    var scripts = [\n                    'https:\/\/static.clmbtech.com\/ad\/commons\/js\/2658\/toi\/colombia_v2.js' ,\n                    'https:\/\/www.googletagmanager.com\/gtag\/js?id=AW-877820074',\n                    'https:\/\/imasdk.googleapis.com\/js\/sdkloader\/ima3.js',\n                    'https:\/\/tvid.in\/sdk\/loader.js',\n                    'https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/video_comscore_api\/version-3.cms',\n                    'https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/grxpushnotification_js\/minify-1,version-1.cms',\n                    'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js#version=v10.0&xfbml=true',\n                    'https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/locateservice_js\/minify-1,version-14.cms'\n                  ];\n                    scripts.forEach(function(url) {\n                      let script = document.createElement('script');\n                      script.type=\"text\/javascript\";\n                      if(!false && !false && !false && url.indexOf('colombia_v2')!== -1){\n                        script.src = url;\n                      } else if (!false && !false && !false && url.indexOf('sdkloader')!== -1) {\n                        script.src = url;\n                      } else if (!false && (url.indexOf('tvid.in\/sdk') !== -1 || url.indexOf('connect.facebook.net') !== -1)) {\n                        script.src = url;\n                      } else if (url.indexOf('colombia_v2')== -1 && url.indexOf('sdkloader')== -1 && url.indexOf('tvid.in\/sdk')== -1 && url.indexOf('connect.facebook.net') == -1){\n                        script.src = url;\n                      }\n                      script.async = true;\n                      document.body.appendChild(script);\n                    });\n                  }\n                }\n                <\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/football\/epl\/top-stories\/epl-brighton-thump-struggling-leicester-to-pile-pressure-on-rodgers\/articleshow\/93988007.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] BRIGHTON (England): Alexis Mac Allister scored twice as Brighton &amp; Hove Albion deepened the crisis at Leicester City with an emphatic 5-2 Premier League victory at the Amex Stadium on Sunday.
