Leicester’s Jordan Ayew scored in the 98th minute as Leicester staged a second-half comeback to earn a 3-2 win at Southampton in the Premier League, with the 10-man hosts setting a club record of 21 matches without victory in the English top-flight.

Southampton, whose last Premier League win came before their relegation in the 2022-23 season, opened the scoring early on when Ryan Manning squared for Cameron Archer to finish a sweeping counter-attack, before midfielder Joe Aribo added to their tally with a side-footed effort.

Leicester pulled one back in the 64th minute after Facundo Buonanotte turned in a cross after a driving run from substitute Abdul Fatawu. Leicester’s Jamie Vardy won a penalty ten minutes later after a VAR review found he was held back by Ryan Fraser.

Fraser was sent off and Vardy stepped up, blasting his effort past Aaron Ramsdale, before Ayew sent a low shot through a sea of bodies to snatch a late victory and break the hearts of home fans at St Mary’s Stadium.

Southampton vs Leicester City

What a thrilling end to what was a great match at St. Mary's. Leicester snatch it at the death in what was truly a game of two halves. Southampton were easily the better side in the first half, grabbing two goals to take a lead into the dressing rooms. But, Leicester were not to be denied. The Foxes roared back with three goals in the second half, the final one coming deep into stopapge time, to return home with all three points. The second goal changed the game, as the hosts were also reduced to 10 men as a result of Fraser's sending off. It is definitely one the Saints will feel hard-done by. The xG at full-time reads 3.14 to 2.05 in Leicester's favour. Thank you as always for tuning into this live text commentary. Signing off here, as Leceister take it 3-2 over Southampton. All the best, and until next time.
