Brentford midfielder Christian Norgaard: We must learn from Leicester draw

Brentford midfielder Christian Norgaard says they must learn from their 1-1 draw with Leicester City.

Mathias Jensen's deflected effort put the Bees ahead at the end of an entertaining opening 45 minutes, but Harvey Barnes latched onto James Maddison's defence-splitting pass and lifted over David Raya to level for the Foxes seven minutes after the restart.

Brendan Rodgers' side went onto enjoy the better of the second half without testing David Raya on his 150th appearance for Brentford.

“We could have been up more than 1-0 but we didn't manage to close the game out," Norgaard told the club's website.

“You saw the quality they have for their goal. We knew they had that, so it was up to us to stop them from having the opportunity and the position to be able to do that.

“We take a point and learn. Now there's a break for everyone to either recover or play for their national team. Then we go again."
