Jordan Ayew celebrates Leicester’s late winner (Action Images via Reuters)
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.
