Leicester are sitting pretty at the top of the Championship after another Friday night mauling at St Mary’s which was at times reminiscent of the 9-0 victory in 2019.
It would take some implosion for Southampton to match the farcical display almost four years ago but Russell Martin’s side looked intent on giving it a go with their defence repeatedly cut open by Enzo Maresca’s side. They have now conceded nine goals in two games.
They were behind after 21 seconds as Stephy Malvididi preyed on a ponderous Shea Charles to play a one two with Jamie Vardy who scored from the edge of the area.
