Fulham vs Leicester final score, result (Premier League): Cottagers take Cair of floundering Foxes

Leicester City was defeated 5-3 by Fulham, who also atoned for their loss in the opposite match, adding to the Foxes' woes as they fall further and farther down the Premier League (PL) standings.

Fulham vs Leicester Highlights

The start of the game was delayed briefly while referee Robert Jones arranged his technical equipment, but Fulham's control over the match was evident as soon as play began. The Foxes were struggling to stop set-piece deliveries, and in the 10th minute, Willian fired a free-kick that drifted through the box and beyond Daniel Iversen. This season, Willian has already scored against two other sides fighting for their Premier League lives.

As Harry Wilson slipped by Carlos Vinicius, who calmly slid the ball beyond of Iversen's reach, Fulham proceeded to easily cut through the Foxes. Tom Cairney cut inside of Alar Söyüncü and scored just before halftime, providing no solace for Dean Smith's flimsy backline. Six minutes into the second half, Cairney, who had not yet scored a goal this season, added to his tally. The midfielder expertly handled Kenny Tete's ball, and his precise strike left custodian Iversen with no chance.

Before the hour, there was a little moment of happiness for the Foxes as Harvey Barnes was set up by James Maddison for a shot that hit the crossbar. Bernd Leno's careless knocking down of Vardy for a penalty gave rise to some fleeting optimism, but the German swiftly grabbed it back away by stopping the striker's spot-kick. Then, Willian added to the visitors' agony by effortlessly slipping into the center and curling an excellent attempt inside the post.

After Maddison scored from the resulting penalty after Joo Palhinha fouled him, Patson Daka took advantage of Shane Duffy's errant header to send up Barnes for a straightforward goal. Even so, Fulham easily snapped their losing streak of three games in a row, providing them a cushion above Chelsea in their pursuit of a top-half finish. Leicester's goal is to just stay in the Premier League, but with Everton playing later today before Nottingham Forest and Southampton kick-off, the Foxes will be watching their backs after going winless for the third straight game.
