Penalty to Leicester! Tielemans is upended by Fosu in the area and Michael Oliver has an easy decision to make as he points to the spot.

Perez fires a shot from the edge of the area and forces a good save from Daniels.
48'
Much improved from Leicester as they come forward once more. Tielemans finds Perez with a precise cross but his glancing header is looped onto the roof of the net.

GOAL! Brentford 1-1 Leicester (Cengiz Under): Whatever Brendan Rodgers told his players at the break has clearly worked. Leicester win the ball in midfield, it's fed to Maddison, who rides a challenge with lightning quick feet. He slips it to Under in space on his right and he finishes with a curling side-footed effort. All level.

Half-time: Brave Brentford lead at the break and it's no less than what they deserve.

There will be just the one minute of added-time to play at the end of the first half.

Smart save! Ghoddos gets a lot of power in his free-kick and forces a fine finger-tip save from Ward.
43'
Fosu buys a free-kick in another threatening position from Tielemans, who was trying to get out of his way.
42'
Maddison picks up the ball in space and threads a nice pass to Under on the right flank. His low cross is inviting, but Pinnock - who has been excellent so far - is spot on with his positional awareness to make the interception.
40'
Ghoddos does well to lift his free-kick over the wall but there's too much height on his effort and Ward can watch it sail over his bar.
39'
And now Brentford win a free-kick in a dangerous position as Forss is fouled by Soyuncu.
37'
Not content with their 1-0 lead, Brentford continue to push players forward up in search of a second. Another set-piece is pumped into the Leicester penalty area, but this time Tielemans heads clear.

Brentford go close! The hosts almost score from another corner! Leicester's zonal marking isn't working, Fosu peels off at the back post and sticks out a boot. Ward makes such an important one-handed save to keep the score Brentford 1-0 Leicester.
34'
Brentford are enjoying another little spell in the game, and Zamburek forces the corner with a deflected shot.

30'
Referee Michael Oliver gets in the way of a Leicester attack and according to the rules a drop ball must be played.
29'
It's risky but admirable the number of players Brentford bring forward to contest attacking set-pieces. Amartey clears Sorensen's long throw on the stretch.
28'
Fosu makes a supporting run and finds himself in behind the Leicester defence on the left channel. His low cross is searching for Forss, but Soyuncu makes an important intervention.
25'
Leicester have had 65 per cent of possession and registered five shots at goal - but it's Brentford who lead with 25 minutes on the clock.
23'
Close! Maddison takes the resultant free-kick and gets his curling effort over the wall. But it hasn't quite got the accuracy to test Daniels as the ball hits the side-netting.
