Leicester City staged a stunning comeback from two goals down as Jordan Ayew's stoppage-time winner gave them a dramatic victory against Southampton in a Premier League thriller at St Mary's Stadium.
He had already started to pose a threat even before Facundo Buonanotte turned in his cross from close range, signalling a sensational Leicester revival. Southampton manager Russell Martin travelled the full range of emotions on a rollercoaster afternoon, from hearing the sounds of approval from supporters at half-time to being the target of their fierce anger at the final whistle.
And they were only denied a third when Leicester keeper Mads Hermansen made a magnificent reflex save from his own defender Wout Faes after the break – but Leicester had started to prey on nerves that became more visible when Foxes manager Steve Cooper introduced Fatawu on the hour. And, with margins guaranteed to be so fine at the bottom of the table this season, Southampton – and indeed Martin – cannot afford such slip-ups.Leicester City manager Steve Cooper was feeling the heat from his own fans and the scoreline after a dismal first half saw the Foxes overrun at St Mary’s.
He spread nerves around the entire stadium, not just Southampton’s defence, and Leicester scented the win once they had equalised and the home side had been reduced to 10 men following Fraser’s red card. Southampton are winless in their last 20 Premier League games – failure to win in this match would set a club record for their outright longest winless run in their top-flight history.
Though they’ve had the fifth highest share of possession in the Premier League this season , just 3.2% of Southampton’s touches have come in the opposition box, the third lowest ratio this term.
