Brendan Rodgers vowed to fight on as Leicester boss but is facing increasing scrutiny after the club’s worst start to a season since 1983.
Leicester’s 5-2 thrashing at Brighton was their fifth league defeat in a row, a sequence that resulted in the sacking of Claudio Ranieri when it last happened in February 2017. Rodgers was booed by some of the travelling Foxes supporters at full-time.
The Foxes face Aston Villa at home on Saturday before travelling to Tottenham the following weekend, prior to the international break – but there was little in the abject display at the Amex Stadium that suggested they were about to turn a corner.
