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.

Into the first of six added minutes here, and Barnes goes down without getting a free-kick at one end. Fulham then counter quickly, with Kenny Tete bursting down the right, but his cross is too close to Iversen.

CHANCE! Kebano whips in a free-kick from the right this time, and Vinicius gets a flick-on at the near post. Duffy is unmarked on the far side and throws himself forward to meet it, but thumps his header wide.

Kebano takes the free-kick short, squaring it across to Solomon, who makes a late run to the edge of the box. He hits it first time, but Faes throws himself in front of the shot.

It's a lovely flick from Vinicius as he tries to return the one-two with Solomon, but he's upended by Soyuncu. Fulham win a free-kick in a good position.

And Wilson is the last to make way, with Kebano on in his place.

Cairney is also taken off with two goals to his name. De Cordova-Reid is on for him.
