Result: Brighton and Hove Albion 1-2 Leicester City
Date: 06 March 2021
Venue: AMEX Stadium
Percy Tau was snubbed yet again as Brighton and Hove Albion suffered a 2-1 defeat to Leicester City in Premier League action on Saturday night.
Graham Potter only made one change from the surprise loss to West Bromwich Albion, as Adam Lallana came in for the injured Aaron Connolly as Tau was named on the bench once again.
The visitors got the opening goal on 10 minutes when the returning Lallana broke through the Leicester defence before slotting past Kasper Schmeichel.
The Foxes, meanwhile, had Jamie Vardy and Kelechi Iheanacho up top but they struggled to trouble the Brighton defence for most of the half.
Sidnei Tavares went close to pulling Leicester level on 36 minutes with a stunning first-time strike distance, but Brighton shot-stopper Rob Sanchez produced a superb save to keep his side ahead.
After ending the first half without a goal, Brendan Rodgers' men managed to get themselves level on 62 minutes when Youri Tielemans' pass found Iheanacho, who fired past Sanchez.
The Foxes took control thereafter although Schmeichel was called upon to deny Lallana a second goal in the final 15 minutes.
However, Leicester would get the winning goal in the 88th minute as Sanchez's failure to collect the corner allowed Ghanaian midfielder Daniel Amartey to head into an empty net.
