Leicester City fans enjoyed their most special moment since that afternoon of May 2, 2016 when a Chelsea tie made them mathematically Premier League champions. The 0-9 to Southampton in the rain at St Mary's allows them to match the record for the greatest victory in the history of the English league and catapult the Brendan Rogers team to second place in the table, five points behind Liverpool.
Until now, this honor belonged to Manchester United, for a 0-9 to Ipswich Town in 1995. However, that team of Sir Alex Ferguson buckled that win at Old Trafford, while Leicester has scored it at home.
The triplets of Ayoze Pérez (min. 19, 39, 59) and Jamie Vardy (min. 45, 59, 90 + 2), added to the goals of Benjamin Chilwell (min. 10), Yuri Tielemans (min. 17) and James Maddison (min. 85) overwhelmed a Southamton who played 80 minutes with 10 players, after the early red direct to Ryan Bertrand.
