DBasia.news – Leicester City won 9-0 over Southampton in the continuing Premier League match. Leicester striker, Ayoze Perez, equals the record of Luis Suarez, the former Liverpool striker.
Ayoze Perez performed brilliantly when Leicester City defeated Southampton at St. Mary’s. Three goals were scored by the Spaniard against the goal guarded by Angus Gunn. That repeats the notes of his last meeting with the Saints, last season. On April 20, 2019, he also scored a hat-trick when Newcastle United won 3-1.

Since being transported from Newcastle at the start of the season, he has not been able to score in ten consecutive matches in various events. Fortunately, Brendan Rodgers still have him the trust.
“It will come,” Brendan Rodgers said before the Southampton v Leicester City match as quoted by Leicester Mercury. “He has worked very hard and unfortunately always failed. However, once he gets the first goal, it will really increase his confidence. “
At St. Mary’s, Ayoze Perez proved the manager’s words. After scoring in the 19th minute, he then added two goals in the 39th and 57th minutes.
