Tom Cairney scored his first Premier League goal since netting against Crystal Palace in October 2020<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Leicester City’s Premier League survival hopes suffered a blow as they were beaten 5-3 by Fulham at Craven Cottage.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The hosts opened the scoring through a Willian free-kick before strikes from Carlos Vinicius and Tom Cairney powered them into a 3-0 half-time lead.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Cairney added another after the restart before Harvey Barnes pulled a goal back for the visitors, who then saw Jamie Vardy miss a penalty in the 66th minute.<\/span><\/p>\n

Willian re-established Fulham’s four-goal lead with another fine strike before James Maddison netted Leicester’s second with an 81st-minute spot-kick.<\/span><\/p>\n

Barnes scored a late third but the struggling Foxes slumped to an underwhelming defeat.<\/span><\/p>\n

Leicester remain just above the drop zone on goal difference with relegation rivals Nottingham Forest and Everton both playing later on Monday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fulham ended a three-match winless run and remain 10th, two points behind west London rivals Brentford.<\/span><\/p>\n

Woeful Leicester booed off at half-time<\/h3>\n

Leicester are desperate for points and, with matches against Liverpool and Newcastle still to come, Foxes fans would have circled Fulham away as a must-win fixture in their battle to avoid the drop.<\/span><\/p>\n

But against a side who had lost three of their past four matches at home, Leicester were woeful in the first half.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Foxes fell behind in the 10th minute when keeper Daniel Iversen misjudged Willian’s wide free-kick and the ball bounced underneath him before nestling in the bottom corner.<\/span><\/p>\n

Vinicius’ goal finished off a fine counter-attacking move before Cairney scored on just his third league start of the season with an impressive curling finish.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trailing by three goals at the break, Leicester were booed off by the visiting fans and the mood only got bleaker when Cairney added Fulham’s fourth in the 51st minute.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, Barnes gave his side a glimmer of hope, before Vardy was caught by Leno midway through the second half – but when the striker missed the resulting spot-kick, any unlikely thoughts of a comeback ended.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fulham soon added a fifth against a porous defence – and Leicester have now failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their past 20 games, an unwanted Premier League record.<\/span><\/p>\n

There were ironic jeers when Maddison found the bottom corner from the spot in the 81st minute after he had been caught by Joao Palhinha in the box.<\/span><\/p>\n

Barnes’ 89th-minute strike made the scoreline look more respectable, but in truth the Foxes never looked like securing anything from the match.<\/span><\/p>\n

Leicester could have gone three points clear of the drop zone with a win, but instead they remain 16th – level on points with Leeds and Nottingham Forest who are 17th and 18th.<\/span><\/p>\n
