Fulham vs Leicester City LIVE: Premier League latest score, goals and updates from fixture

Leicester slipped further into relegation trouble as they endured a woeful 5-3 defeat away to Fulham to end their three-game unbeaten run and inflict damage on their survival hopes.

Starting the game outside of the bottom three on goal difference, Dean Smith’s side were ripped apart in the first half at Craven Cottage as Willian, Carlos Vinicius and Tom Cairney all took advantage of shambolic defending to bury Leicester before the break.

Cairney got his second and his team’s fourth early in the second half before Willian completed a brace of his own, rifling in a fine solo effort.

Harvey Barnes scored two and James Maddison tapped in a penalty to give visiting supporters momentary cheer, but the result was never in doubt. The prospects of their team remaining a Premier League club look slim on the evidence of a defensive display every bit as bad as the scoreline suggested.

A brilliant game of football ends with Fulham beating Leicester 5-3. The Foxes collapsed in the first half and were 3-0 down at the break. Iversen failed to keep out Willian's free-kick before Vinicius and Cairney piled more misery on them. In the second half, Cairney got his second following a quick break, but Barnes pulled one back just before the hour mark, firing in off the bar. Vardy then had a penalty saved before Willian whipped in a marvellous long-range shot. Maddison stepped up for Leicester's second penalty, coolly dispatching it before Barnes punished Fulham for some poor defending for their third.

Leicester are camped out in Fulham's half at the moment as they push for a goal that would make for a very nervy ending to the game. Soyuncu goes long again, but Leno confidently comes out to deal with this one.

ANOTHER PENALTY TO LEICESTER! Palhinha cuts off Mateus Tete's run into the box, but it bounces back to Maddison. He takes a touch before trying to cut back, which is when Palhinha clumsily takes his legs out. The referee points straight to the spot once more.

16:26

IT'S SAVED! Vardy steps up to take the penalty and aims for the right of the goal. It's at a comfortable height and not quite in the corner, and Leno goes the right way to push it wide and Barnes fires over the rebound. Still 4-1!

The Leicester fans were making their displeasure clear as the players went down the tunnel, and Smith has got a lot of work to do. The visitors did create a couple of good chances for themselves but caused too many of their own problems at the other end. Fulham look to have put their recent losing run behind them, and Silva will be looking for more of the same.

15:57

Fulham are cruising at the break as they lead Leicester 3-0. They looked comfortable from the start and took a lead through Willian's free-kick on the left when the bounce of the ball caught out Iversen and went all the way through. Vinicius doubled their lead eight minutes later by coolly slotting into the bottom corner. Just before the break, Leicester sloppily gave it away deep in their own half and Cairney punished them for it.

15:45

Barnes is starting to get a lot more joy down the left, but he's still struggling to get a final ball into the box. He tries to clip it into the near post for Vardy this time, but a nick off Adarabioyo sends it over.

Fulham vs Leicester City

15:43

Willian breaks away from Castagne again and checks back before trying to curl it into Reed, who is unmarked at the far post. It's behind him though and it bounces harmlessly out.

15:37

GOOD SAVE! Fulham switch it out to their left, and Willian finds a pocket of space to dart to the byline. He pulls it back to Reed on the penalty spot, and he takes the shot first time, but Iversen denies him with his legs.

15:35

After weathering a good spell of pressure from Leicester, Fulham look to get it up the other end through Reed. He has a free run down the right, but can't pick out a team-mate with his cross.
