Saints beat Foxes to move out of relegation zone

Leicester - Ten-man Southampton climbed out of the English Premier League relegation zone as Ralph Hasenhüttl's revolution continued with a 2-1 win at Leicester on Saturday.

James Ward-Prowse's penalty and Shane Long's first goal in nine months earned the victory at King Power Stadium.

Long's strike, in first-half injury time, came just 120 seconds after Yan Valery was sent off for a second bookable offence.

Wilfred Ndidi pulled a goal back in the second half for Leicester, who are led by former Southampton manager Claude Puel.

Southampton moved a point above the league drop zone after just a fourth win of the season. Three of them have come under boss Hasenhüttl' as he revives the Saints just a month after replacing Mark Hughes.

Leicester dropped to eighth with boss Puel under fire from fans after performances lacking inspiration.

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
