It was another poor outing in the Premier League from Leicester after shipping five goals to Fulham at Craven Cottage.
Leicester City manager Dean Smith is in shock after his side suffered a setback in their fight to avoid relegation on Monday.
Smith watched his Foxess fall to an embarrassing defeat during an eight-goal thriller against Fulham at Craven Cottage.
Fulham were just too good, inspired by former Chelsea and Arsenal man, Willian, who scored a brace in the 5-3 win over Leicester.

However, a poor first half saw the Foxes down by three goals before Tom Cairney extended the lead to 4-0 six minutes into the second half.
Despite a late fight back that saw them score two late goals after Harver Barnes pulled one back earlier in the second 45, manager, Smith stated that he did not see the performance from his side coming.

"The first half was nowhere near good enough,” Smith said after the game. “Giving three goals away at half-time is a mountain to climb.”
“Second half we were better but it didn't have to be an awful lot to be better in the second half. We have gone a long time without a clean sheet and we are craving that. The frustrating part for me is I didn't see that coming"
After the loss, Leicester remain in the relegation battle with 30 points leaving them 17th on the table with three games to go.
