Brighton & Hove Albion vs Leicester City
It's all over on a goal-filled afternoon at the AMEX Stadium as Leicester end their eight-game Premier League losing streak but relegation continues to loom large for Van Nistelrooy. A pair of Pedro penalties came as just reward for an overall dominant performance from the home side, with an xG of 4.1, but they were unable to score from open play. The Foxes grit kept them in the game, twice coming from behind via Mavididi and Okoli, but their xG of 1.62 tells its own story. Leicester's drop to the Championship is delayed for another week as Brighton's European hopes take a blow ahead of key run of games for the Seagulls.
