Lester has done something unprecedented in the history of elite English football! The Foxes beat Southhampton 9-0 and leveled Manchester United`s record for the most devastating Major League era. Today`s result is an absolute record for the biggest victory on a foreign pitch in the English football elite. The top achievement so far was again the Red Devils - 8-1 against Nottingham Forest.
Brandon Rodgers` team literally scoffed at its pitiful rival, who played less than 80 minutes with Ryan Bertrand`s red card in the 11th minute, seconds after the first goal.
Agios Perez and Jamie Vardy scored three times in the door of Angus Gunn, who alone prevented the result from being double-digit. Ben Chillwell, Yuri Tillemans and James Madison signed on once. The Foxes are now second in the standings, ahead of Manchester City before the rest of the 10th round games. Southampton are ranked 18th and have not won since mid-September.
Both ma nagers had no major staffing problems and bet on the lineups they made in the matches from argentina rankings of the previous round. Ralph Hashenhull launched the top of the attack Danny Ings, backed by James Ward-Prime and Nathan Redmond. Leicester also acted in the front line with Jamie Vardy, with Agios Perez and Harvey Barnes assisting on both flanks.

In the middle of the first half, they were already losing by 0-3 and were down less than Ryan Bertrand`s red card.
The turning point came as early as the 11th minute. The visitors developed a nice attack, with Chillwell keenly focusing on Barnes, but Angus Gun rescued. However, the home keeper did not stand a chance at the addition of Chillwell, who firs t came to the ball and sent it into the net.
After the goal, referee Andre Mariner showed that he would want VAR intervention and some of Southampton`s fans thought the hit could be canceled, but instead the referee picked up Bertrand`s red card. The decision was completely correct, because in the germ of the head attack the defender of the `Saints` entered brutally in the foot of Agios Perez.
In the 18th minute, Leicester doubled their lead, with Chillwell at the back of the goal. The left back probed and looked for a combination with Harvey Barnes. Jan Valerie, who made it comfortable for Tillemans, got in the way of the ball, and the Belgian signed for the third time this season.
Immediately after the center the home team lost the ball and a new attack by Leicester followed with a goal. Agios Perez exchanged passes with Tillemans, stepped into the penalty area and fired Angus Gun, and some of Southampton`s fans headed to the s tadium exits.
With less people and with this result, the hosts had the sole purpose of preventing degrading defeat. In the middle of the half they made two shots at Kasper Schmeichel`s door, but without making it difficult.
