LEICESTER CITY set an unwanted Premier League record as more misery piled on Ruud van Nistelrooy.
The Foxes lost 4-0 at home to Brentford thanks to three first-half Bees goals.

And that made it SIX home league defeats in a row without scoring a single goal.
It puts them clear of Norwich’s five in 2019-20.
The run started with a 3-0 thumping by Wolves on December 22 then City lost 2-0 to Manchester City, Crystal Palace, Fulham and Arsenal before Brentford arrived at the King Power.
Yoane Wissa gave the Bees the lead on 17 minutes when Leicester’s statues at the back allowed Mikkel Damsgaard’s neat pass to make its way through.
Bryan Mbeumo did what Bryan Mbeumo does, cutting in on his left foot and whipping into the far corner for 2-0.
Then Christian Norgaard had a free header from a free-kick to make it 3-0 with just 32 minutes on the clock.
It looked as though it would finish at three but Fabio Carvalho added a fourth just before the end – to condemn the Foxes to the third 4-0 defeat of Van Nistelrooy’s nightmare tenure.
The final sting from the Bees prompted arguments between Leicester team-mates on the pitch – seemingly between goalkeeper Mads Hermansen and Boubakary Soumare.
