'A bit of a challenging afternoon'

Leicester City caretaker boss Ben Dawson has been speaking to Match of the Day following the defeat: "As expected. We knew coming here about Brentford's home record and the crowd getting behind them.

"We got ourselves in front with the goal and decision-making in key moments have contributed to the scoreline. Not so much the first one, but the second one we are down to 10 men and then the third just before half-time.

"They hit hard. We showed some good play for some parts of the game.

"The thinking was to try to get three points. We reassessed everyone and thought that the best way was to go out to get three points."

On whether he has had any contact with new manager Ruud van Nistelrooy: "Only last night, we exchanged a few texts and we'll catch up tomorrow.

"A bit of a challenging afternoon. It can be a lonely place stood on that touchline, but everyone was excited when the announcement was made yesterday so hopefully that positivity continues."
