Leicester City 1-0 Southampton: Morgan sends Foxes seven points clear

Following Tottenham's draw at Liverpool on Saturday, Leicester City boosted its Premier League title hopes by beating Southampton.

Leicester City opened up a seven-point lead at the Premier League summit by overcoming Southampton 1-0 at the King Power Stadium on Saturday.

Wes Morgan's first-half header was enough for Leicester to secure a fifth single-goal victory in the last six top-flight matches, capitalizing on second-placed Tottenham's 1-1 draw at Liverpool on Saturday to extend the advantage at the top.

The afternoon started jovially as, on the eve of his birthday, Leicester chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha laid on free doughnuts and beer for the home faithful.
