Brentford would be very welcome in the Premier League with this style of football, and they fashion another half opportunity. Rasmussen drives down the right and picks out Fosu, whose ambitious volley drops wide at the far post.

Leicester may not be quite finished yet. Tielemans tries his luck from 20 yards but fails to trouble Daniels on this occasion.

That should do it, you would think. Leicester have been excellent in this second half and fully deserve their two-goal lead. They will host Brighton in the fifth round should they hold on.

GOAL! Brentford 1-3 Leicester (James Maddison): Maddison scores for the fourth consecutive game to all but seal victory for Leicester! Under carves in from the right and feeds Barnes on the left flank. Daniels can only palm his shot into the path of Maddison who is left with a simple tap-in.

Leicester chance! Thomas is released by Barnes on the overlap and the former pulls it back for the latter who slides his low shot just wide of Daniels' far post.
66'
Pressley makes a mess of it after being picked out by Fosu's cross. He misses with an attempted shot and then the ball hits his arm as he concedes the free-kick.

Leicester go close! Tielemans plays a beautifully-weighted pass to release Pereira on the right flank. He picks out Under in space in the middle who shoots first-time with his left foot but somehow fails to hit the target. A let-off for Brentford.
57'
Important defending! Brentford aren't out of this contest just yet. Soyuncu fails to clear his lines from Sorensen's long throw. It falls to Forss, whose shot from point-blank range is blocked by Pereira.

Chance for Leicester! Tielemans picks out Pereira on the right. He cuts it back to Maddison, who tries a first-time flicked effort but doesn't quite get the accuracy as it drops over the bar.
54'
A concern for Canos as he goes down following a collision with Soyuncu.
53'
No let up from Leicester as Under drives forward once again. This time Stevens is there to intervene.

GOAL! Brentford 1-2 Leicester (Youri Tielemans, pen): Tielemans picks himself up to take the penalty himself and makes no mistake, sliding the ball into the bottom left corner for his fifth goal of the season. Leicester have completely turned this game on its head within six minutes of the restart.
