Substitutes: Winks (7), Fatawu (8), Ayew (7), De Cordova-Reid (n/a) Player of the Match: Abdul Fatawu Aribo doubled the lead with a similar move, with Walker-Peters as the architect, before the half-hour, and Saints flew out of the traps after the break, looking to finish off the job and take their foot off the pedal.

Leicester still hadn’t had a shot on target at the hour, so three points were within reach. Until they were no more. Abdul Fatawu made an instant impact, getting to the byline and putting a ball up for Facundo Buonanotte to help in at the far post. Then, he hit the crossbar with a long-range shot and challenged Aaron Ramsdale shortly after the ball was retained in play.

. However, VAR determined that, following the save, Ryan Fraser had held back Jamie Vardy, denying him a scoring opportunity. Anthony Taylor went to the monitor and returned shortly afterwards, with a red card for Fraser and a penalty awarded to Leicester.
