Leicester City launch second-half fightback to knock Brentford out of FA Cup


  • English
  • Arabic

Leicester City avoided becoming the latest Premier League victims of second-tier Brentford as they came from behind to win 3-1 in the FA Cup fourth round on Saturday.

The Championship Bees, who shocked four top-flight sides on their way to this season's League Cup semi-finals, were threatening to add the Foxes to their list of scalps when they led through Mads Bech Sorensen's early goal.

But Leicester started the second half on the front foot and equalised in the 46th minute after winning the ball upfield before Maddison found Cengiz Under in space for the Turkish winger to curl his effort past goalkeeper Luke Daniels.

Five minutes later, the visitors' took the lead with a penalty after Youri Tielemans was fouled. The Belgium midfielder got up to send Daniels the wrong way with a low shot into the bottom corner.

Leicester wrapped up the win in the 71st on the counter-attack when Daniels spilled a Harvey Barnes shot and midfielder Maddison was on hand to score his fourth goal in as many games in all competitions.

Sean Dyche said his Burnley side's "collective mentality" was the key to their 3-0 FA Cup win over Fulham.

Jay Rodriguez struck twice before turning provider for his side's third, controlling a loose ball with his shoulder into the path of Kevin Long, who was able to tap home to secure Burnley's place in the fifth round.

Having not scored since a 1-1 draw at Liverpool on July 11 last year, 31-year-old Rodriguez glanced home a header just after the half-hour mark to put his side ahead before converting from the penalty spot in the 71st minute.

Despite the conditions, with the snow only cleared from the pitch an hour before kick-off on Sunday, Burnley started strongly and appeared full of confidence and momentum after their shock win at Anfield in midweek.

Dyche said: "I thought the attitude towards the game and the performance was fantastic.

"As good an energy from a side as I've seen on a very tricky pitch, a very heavy pitch.

"Within the group, we've had a lot of injury problems this season but we've got fitter this season, and as it's come back together I think it continues to grow.

"The collective mentality I thought was key for us today, they were top drawer."

Fulham slipped to their third successive defeat and conceded three goals for the first time since a 3-2 home loss to Everton on November 22.

"[It was a] tough day, I didn't feel we deserved anything out of the game today, to be quite honest with you," Scott Parker said. "I thought we fell very short of the standards and what we're used to seeing."

It’ll be summer in the city as car show tries to move with the times

If 2008 was the year that rocked Detroit, 2019 will be when Motor City gives its annual car extravaganza a revamp that aims to move with the times.

A major change is that this week's North American International Auto Show will be the last to be held in January, after which the event will switch to June.

The new date, organisers said, will allow exhibitors to move vehicles and activities outside the Cobo Center's halls and into other city venues, unencumbered by cold January weather, exemplified this week by snow and ice.

In a market in which trends can easily be outpaced beyond one event, the need to do so was probably exacerbated by the decision of Germany's big three carmakers – BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi – to skip the auto show this year.

The show has long allowed car enthusiasts to sit behind the wheel of the latest models at the start of the calendar year but a more fluid car market in an online world has made sales less seasonal.

Similarly, everyday technology seems to be catching up on those whose job it is to get behind microphones and try and tempt the visiting public into making a purchase.

Although sparkly announcers clasp iPads and outline the technical gadgetry hidden beneath bonnets, people's obsession with their own smartphones often appeared to offer a more tempting distraction.

“It's maddening,” said one such worker at Nissan's stand.

The absence of some pizzazz, as well as top marques, was also noted by patrons.

“It looks like there are a few less cars this year,” one annual attendee said of this year's exhibitors.

“I can't help but think it's easier to stay at home than to brave the snow and come here.”
