Southampton 1-0 Leicester: Carlos Alcaraz bags first-half winner on the after James Ward-Prowse's penalty was SAVED by Danny Ward, as Saints move off the bottom of the league with a vital three points

Southampton moved off the bottom of the Premier League on Saturday with a potentially vital win over Leicester.

It looked as though it wasn't the home side's day after dead-ball maestro James Ward-Prowse had a penalty saved, but Carlos Alcaraz saved the midfielder's blushes moments later with a classy goal.

Che Adams played in the Argentine star on the counter attack, and the 20-year-old showed an impressive degree of composure to slot home the only goal of the game.

The result puts Southampton up to 19th, while Leicester drop to 15th and now sit just two points above the drop zone.
