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! Fulham struggle to clear Maddison's latest corner and it takes three of them to get it out of the box. Willian's header falls to Soumare, who lifts it back towards Barnes, but Kenny Tete nudges him away from it.

SAVE! Maddison is dragging Leicester upfield every time he gets the ball, but this time he goes it alone after a weaving run through midfield. He takes another shot from the edge of the box, but Leno holds onto it.
