We're conceding too many goals and not creating enough chances. We're in a bad place but only us can get ourselves together. We're in a dark place at the moment. We've got to pull ourselves through it and look at ourselves in the mirror. We've got to look at ourselves, we'll see new manager in training tomorrow. There's a full season to go and the new manager is coming in tomorrow and we have to go from there. "We need to get better at a lot of things. Not doing things well enough. Can't accept that as a club, players and a team. We need to really build and get better. " On the mood in the dressing room: "Down. But there's a lot who need to take responsibility. We need to speak to each other and get the best out of each other. We've had a few team meetings this week just players. We have to do that because we have to look at ourselves and that's what good teams do. We're not showing that we are a good team at the moment. "We're giving too many chances away. The whole team. I look at myself individually and there's a lot of players need to do that too. " On Ruud van Nistelrooy coming in as manager: "We're looking forward to it. Having a new manager come in and show us where we need to get better. We've been here before and we have to responsibility and try to get better. " FT: Wolves 2-4 Bournemouth Bournemouth Hat-trick hero Justin Kluivert to Premier League Productions, on becoming the first player to score three penalties in one Premier League game: "That sounds beautiful. To go in the history books, that's amazing, super happy with it. "I train them [the penalties]. We have a great keeper with Kepa. We try some stuff, the first one I stop, and look at the keeper, what is he doing? I switch it up for the second one. Then the third, he doesn't know what I'm going to do. I waited and he chose for me. Easy as that. "We have shown we can beat a lot of teams in this league. I am happy. " Where will he put the match ball? : "I will put it in my daughter's room, waiting for her to come in February. And she can see how I did it. " On cutting team-mate Milos Kerkez's hair this week: "Yes, I've been cutting his hair and since then he has been contributing to goals. I am going to up my price a little bit. " FT: Nottingham Forest 1-0 Ipswich Nottingham Forest Nottingham Forest striker Chris Wood speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "It's never about that. It can be tough some days and you have to grind in as a team. We were great defensively. They gave us problems and they're a good side. They've got a good run at home now. "It's fantastic but I want to keep going and keep pushing. The team is delivering chances and opportunities. It's easy when they're putting them on a plate. "It's part and parcel of football especially in England. We know how the schedule can be over Christmas. " FT: Brentford 4-1 Leicester Nick Mashiter BBC Sport football news reporter at the Gtech Community Stadium Leicester fans turned on their club a little towards the end with chants against director of football Jon Rudkin and shouts of 'you're not fit to wear the shirt' towards the players. A lot of the squad kept their distance from the away supporters at the final whistle. Away from the Premier League, Leyton Orient's goalkeeper, Josh Keeley has just scored an 98th minute equaliser in the FA Cup against Oldham Athletic. Quite incredible - you can follow that game here. FT: Wolves 2-4 Bournemouth Michael Emons BBC Sport at Molineux A day to forget for Wolves, but a place in football's record books for Bournemouth's Justin Kluivert, who became the first man in the Premier League era to score a hat-trick of penalties. Indeed, he is the first player to do so in an English top flight game in 67 years - since Ken Barnes did so in a 6-2 win for Manchester City against Everton at Maine Road all the way back on 7 December, 1957. Evanilson also made a bit of Premier League history, being the first player to win three penalties in the same match. Crystal Palace's point against Newcastle means Wolves drop into the bottom three. The match ended with Bournemouth fans chanting to their former boss Gary O'Neil "Gary, what's the score', a chant some home fans joined in with too. Boos from all around the ground at the final whistle. The only ones happy are those in the corner cheering on Bournemouth. Wolves 2-4 Bournemouth Some boos at full-time. Wolves 2-4 Bournemouth Still we play on. It's almost walking pace now. Around one minute to go. Wolves 2-4 Bournemouth Bournemouth have a throw by Wolves' corner flag. The Cherries' fans are chanting "Gary, what's the score? " FT: Crystal Palace 1-1 Newcastle Michael Brown Former Manchester City and Tottenham midfielder on BBC Radio 5 Live There wasn't much quality in the game. It was a poor game but ultimately you keep going and you get your rewards. What an ending to the game. Wolves 2-4 Bournemouth A few minutes to go at Wolves, our only game still playing. Jorgen Strand Larsen is booked for arguing with the referee. Brentford 4-1 Leicester That's that. Another emphatic victory for Brentford at home but a tricky afternoon for a poor Leicester side. Ruud van Nistelrooy has seen the job he's got on his hands. I wonder what he thinks about it? FT: Crystal palace 1-1 Newcastle Ashley Williams Former Wales defender on Final Score Daniel Munoz with the goal, a great ball in from Marc Guehi. Munoz who missed such a glorious chance - he's so relieved. He heads it down and you can see from the celebrations it means everything to him. Crystal Palace 1-1 Newcastle Michael Brown Former Manchester City and Tottenham midfielder on BBC Radio 5 Live I don't think Pope should get beat there and he will be so disappointed. Crystal Palace 1-1 Newcastle Nope, no more late drama. But still, what a finish! Nott'm Forest 1-0 Ipswich Ipswich whip a ball into the box and Matz Sels leaps to gather and smother it and that will be that. Not the most entertaining match and Nottingham Forest needed a penalty to get the job done but they won't care. Three points on the board and a first win in three games. They're back on track. Crystal Palace 1-1 Newcastle Palace attack again. They couldn't, could they? Crystal Palace 1-1 Newcastle Michael Brown Former Manchester City and Tottenham midfielder on BBC Radio 5 Live This is incredible. Munoz comes from nowhere, heads it down into the ground and beats Pope. Glasner has run down from the technical area right down past the corner flag into the crowd as all the players celebrate! Brentford 4-1 Leicester "We want five" is the chant from the Brentford fans. They have around three minutes of added time remaining to fulfil those wishes. Daniel Munoz (90+4 mins) A last-gasp leveller! Redemption for Daniel Munoz. He had a huge miss in the first half, but he makes up for it here with a towering header which beats Nick Pope at the keeper's near post. Only about 90 seconds remain. Kevin Schade's hat-trick helped Brentford cruise to victory over Leicester New Leicester manager Ruud van Nistelrooy watched Kevin Schade net a hat-trick as Brentford thumped the Foxes to underline the size of the task he faces. The former Manchester United striker, who has yet to over coaching matters, with Ben Dawson overseeing Leicester for this game, sat next to owner Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha in the stands at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday. And the Dutchman saw his new side overrun to offer little suggestion they have the quality to pull away from danger. Schade's treble added to Yoane Wissa's equaliser in the first half after Facundo Buonanotte's 21st-minute goal put the Foxes ahead against the run of play. The dominant Bees were 3-1 ahead by half-time with Wissa and Schade firing them in front within eight minutes of going behind. Schade, who was also denied an early opener by a fine Mads Hermansen save, added a third in first-half stoppage time, the Germany international's first top-flight goals of the season. Thomas Frank's impressively fluid side are now seventh in the Premier League, two points adrift of the top four, after a fourth home win in a row for the first time in the top flight since 1937. It is in stark contrast to the Foxes and Van Nistelrooy will have been unimpressed when the passive visitors were split by Nathan Collins' pass for Schade to complete his hat-trick after 59 minutes. Leicester host West Ham on Tuesday sitting a point above the relegation zone when Van Nistelrooy will be in the dugout. The Foxes players needed a performance after the criticism of their Christmas party in Copenhagen last weekend, 24 hours before Steve Cooper was sacked on Sunday. They failed and ex-PSV manager Van Nistelrooy will have seen enough on Saturday to show him what the Foxes are missing. After a limp fifth defeat in eight games, he needs to make an instant impact. Brentford boss Frank has the Bees flying. Last season's struggles, when they finished 16th, have long been forgotten, as have any concerns following the summer sale of Ivan Toney. Sitting two points from the top four, they are the highest scorers at home in the Premier League this season, Saturday's four goals taking their total to 22. Victory also takes them to 19 points at home this season, which is another league high. And the Bees have scored at least three times in four consecutive home league fixtures for the first time since 1984. Frank's side are setting new records and he even had the luxury of bringing Schade into the side on Saturday and being rewarded by the Germany international scoring his first Premier League goals of the season. The frustration will be the sole clean sheet this term, in last week's 0-0 draw at Everton, and the lack of an away win - but their home form is curing any ills so far. Brentford have lost at Liverpool, Manchester City, Tottenham and Manchester United - along with Fulham - which shows there is still a gap between them and the top sides, but the Bees look like they could bridge that quickly in the second half of the season. Van Nistelrooy needs to work quickly to repair the fractures at Leicester before they start to cause real damage. If the defeat at the Gtech Community Stadium was not bad enough, the murmurings from the away supporters would have crystallised a growing problem the Foxes face. At least twice during the game the supporters, briefly, chanted for director of football Jon Rudkin to leave and those sentiments will not disappear, especially with passive performances in west London. And the away fans sang "this is embarrassing" and "you're not fit to wear the shirt" towards the end after Schade’s hat-trick put the game beyond reach. The hierarchy have come under consistent criticism over the years, including following the appointment of Claudio Ranieri in 2015 just before the Italian stunned the world by leading the Foxes to the Premier League title in 2016. It has been allowed to fester this season. The appointment of Steve Cooper never resonated with the fans, and the King Power Stadium no longer has the electric atmosphere of old. The players’ Christmas party in Copenhagen last weekend, although pre-approved by the club, is likely to drive a further wedge between them and the fanbase. The younger supporters have grown up knowing the success of the Premier League triumph, a Champions League quarter-final and the 2021 FA Cup win. Leicester have changed, it is obvious they are no longer that side or club despite having loftier ambitions than a relegation battle, and it would be wise for those in charge to help the fans understand the direction of the club.

Leicester are unbeaten in their last eight league games against Brentford (W5 D3), since a 3-2 home loss in the second tier in March 1953. Leicester have won just one of their last 13 Premier League away games against London sides (D3 L9), shipping 2+ goals on each of their last five top-flight visits to the capital (D1 L4). Brentford have won more home points (16) and scored more home goals (18) than any other side in the Premier League this season. They’ve won five of their six at the Gtech Community Stadium, and are looking to win four in a row at home for the first time ever in the Premier League. Brentford’s last three home games have seen them win 5-3 against Wolves, 4-3 against Ipswich and 3-2 against Bournemouth. The Bees last scored 3+ goals in four consecutive home league games in April/May 1984, while the last team to win four straight top-flight home games while conceding 2+ goals each time were Leicester in October 1964. Despite having just two wins from their 12 league games this season, no side has scored in more different Premier League games so far this term than Leicester (11). Their only failure to score was in their last away match against Manchester United (0-3). No team has scored more first half goals in the Premier League this season than Brentford (14), while no team have scored fewer in the opening 45 minutes than Leicester (4). Leicester’s Jamie Vardy has scored four goals from five shots on target in the Premier League this season, the joint-best shot on target conversion of any player with 5+ (80%). Meanwhile, the best conversion rate of any player with 10+ shots on target is Brentford’s Yoane Wissa (70% - 7/10). Yoane Wissa has been involved in nine goals in his last five Premier League home games for Brentford (7 goals, 2 assists), scoring in each of these five games. Teammate Bryan Mbeumo meanwhile has either scored or assisted in his last six at the Gtech Community Stadium (7 goals, 1 assist). All three of Jordan Ayew’s Premier League goals for Leicester this season have been scored in the 90th minute, and as a substitute. Just two of his first 37 strikes in the competition had been off the bench. © 2024 BBC. The BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites. Read about our approach to external linking.
