Fulham vs Leicester City LIVE: Premier League latest score, goals and updates from fixture
Follow all the action from Craven Cottage
Leicester slipped further into relegation trouble as they endured a woeful 5-3 defeat away to Fulham to end their three-game unbeaten run and inflict damage on their survival hopes.
Starting the game outside of the bottom three on goal difference, Dean Smith’s side were ripped apart in the first half at Craven Cottage as Willian, Carlos Vinicius and Tom Cairney all took advantage of shambolic defending to bury Leicester before the break.
Cairney got his second and his team’s fourth early in the second half before Willian completed a brace of his own, rifling in a fine solo effort.
Harvey Barnes scored two and James Maddison tapped in a penalty to give visiting supporters momentary cheer, but the result was never in doubt. The prospects of their team remaining a Premier League club look slim on the evidence of a defensive display every bit as bad as the scoreline suggested.

CHANCE! Maddison is still finding a lot of space through the middle and this time, he lays it off to Mateus Tete to the right. He knocks it past Robinson before curling a low shot on goal, but he sends it wide of the far post.

Maddison is tripped and Leicester win a free-kick just outside the box. He steps up to take it and looks to curl his shot into the top right corner, but it sails just over the bar.
