Leicester 2 – 1 Brentford

Stunning goals from Timothy Castagne and James Maddison gave Leicester a 2-1 home win over Brentford that lifts them into the top half of the Premier League table.

Castagne made a dream return after nearly three months out injured as he scored Leicester’s opener with a thunderous strike (20) from just outside the box that arrowed into the top-right corner.

Thirteen minutes later, Maddison scored a wonderful, curling 25-yard free-kick that beat Brentford goalkeeper David Raya in the opposite top corner.

Brentford set up a nervy finish after Yoane Wissa hammered home from outside the box in the 85th minute.

But the Foxes held on to move up to 10th and are now level on points with Midlands rivals Aston Villa, who are above them on goal difference in ninth.

Meanwhile, Brentford remain eight points above the relegation zone with 17th-placed Watford having a game in hand on them, while 18th-placed Burnley have three games in hand on the Bees.
