Leicester on Saturday lost to Southampton on a home defeat at the King Power Stadium. Leicester were looking to get back their winning ways after losing their last match 4-2 to Arsenal. Soton, on the other hand, had managed to pick up a single point in their matchup with Leeds United. As it stands, Leicester are in 18th place in the table and have 1 point while Soton sit in 12th with 4 points after 3 matches.

After an uneventful first half, Leicester certainly were out of the blocks quickly in the second half, when James Maddison gave The Foxes the lead at the 54 minute mark. However, their lead didn’t last for long, Che Adams producing an equaliser, 68 minutes in, bringing The Saints level. Soton then scored once more and turned the match thanks to a second effort from Che Adams in the 84th minute to make it 2-1.

Leicester brought on Patson Daka, Youri Tielemans and Kelechi Iheanacho for Jamie Vardy, Ayoze Perez and Harvey Barnes. Soton brought on Che Adams, Stuart Armstrong and Lyanco, to replace Sekou Mara, Adam Armstrong and Joe Aribo.

There were bookings for Patson Daka and James Maddison from Leicester, and Mohamed Elyounoussi, Joe Aribo and Romeo Lavia, for Soton.

Leicester will next travel to Chelsea, while Soton will face Manchester United at home.
