Leicester City have not achieved a top-right league finish since their improbable title win in 2016 but they are on course to achieve this and more, come the end of this season.

The Foxes have impressed since the appointment of Brendan Rodgers last February and went on an amazing run of eight consecutive Premier League wins earlier in the season to establish themselves as an unlikely challenger to Liverpool at the top.

The second match in this sequence came at the St Mary's in a matchday 10 fixture, with Southampton the opponents on a cold and rainy Friday night.

Left-back Ben Chilwell opened the scoring for the visitors in the 10th minute and a red card for Ryan Bertrand for Southampton just two minutes later proved to be their undoing and a further eight goals were scored to equal the mark for the biggest wins in Premier League history.

Striker Jamie Vardy currently leads the scorer's charts with 17 goals and he was one of two players to score a hat-trick in this fixture alongside Ayoze Perez, while James Maddison and Youri Tielemans also got on the scoresheet.
