Castagne put Leicester in front off a corner kick, racing to the front post to meet James Maddison’s service and put an unmarked header past David Raya. And Dewsbury-Hall’s made a habit of scoring beautiful goals, but there’s more to this story. Dasilva was good off the bench in securing a result for the Bees, the equalizer coming in the 86th minute. Timothy Castagne and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall staked the Foxes to a 2-0 lead after 46 minutes, but Ivan Toney and Joshua Dasilva scored in the final half-hour to earn Thomas Frank’s men a point.

The Foxes led 2-0 through a first-half goal from Timothy Castagne and a second-half strike by Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. Ivan Toney drew one back for the visitors ...

Amartey failed to close down Josh Dasilva on the edge of the area, allowing the substitute to curl a shot past the stranded Ward and secure the draw for the visitors. For a full hour, the Foxes looked like they would coast to an easy victory. If the intent was to slow the match down and prevent Brentford from getting back into the match, it didn’t work. Things were ever so comfortable for Leicester for the first quarter-hour of the second half when, out of nothing, Brentford got one back. The Shepshed Pirlo unleashed an unstoppable drive into the corner of the net to double the City advantage. On 33’, the Foxes opened the scoring in exactly the fashion one would have anticipated: A corner from Maddison found Castagne’s near-post run.

Thomas Frank's man management was the difference in the Bee's first match. Only giving up goals from defencive errors, the squad kept their composure to fight ...

The formation going forward changed at this point to a 3-4-3 with Hickey staying back as a center half while Mbeumo and Henry pushed forward on the wings. Coming on in the 59th minute Dasilva provided the creativity needed in the midfield. In the first half Brentford resorted to playing wide, but struggled to generate any chances with only 1 accurate cross the entire match. Brentford did not seem bothered by this lapse in concentration however, and started controlling the ball more while being further up the pitch. This compact system allowed Leicester to find spaces in wide areas and were able to play many crosses into the box from these areas. Thomas Frank’s man management was the difference in the Bee’s first match.
