Southampton 0-9 Leicester: Report, Ratings & Reaction as Foxes Make History Against 10-Man Saints

Leicester City moved up to second in the Premier League on Friday as they stormed to an unbelievable 9-0 win over Southampton at St Mary's Stadium.

It took Leicester just ten minutes to open the scoring through Ben Chilwell, and the VAR check on the goal saw Southampton's Ryan Bertrand sent off for a dangerous challenge. Within the next eight minutes, Leicester netted twice through Youri Tielemans and Ayoze Pérez, both of whom fired home from close range.

Goals four and five came shortly before the break via Pérez and Jamie Vardy, before the referee brought the mauling to a halt for half time.
