Leicester 2-2 Brentford: Brentford rallied from two goals down to earn a deserved point at Leicester.
Brendan Rodgers’ team were on set for an easy Premier League victory at the King Power Stadium after goals either side of halftime from Timothy Castagne and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall put them ahead.
However, the Foxes’ problems with holding onto a lead from last season resurfaced as Brentford, who used all five substitutes available in the second half, stormed back into the game.
Ivan Toney’s 62nd-minute goal gave them hope, but substitute Josh Dasilva’s sensational goal four minutes from time earned a point for Thomas Frank’s side.
