DBasia.news – Leicester City amazed the public when they won with a striking score of 9-0 over Southampton at ST Mary’s Stadium in the continuing week 10 of the Premier League, Saturday (10/26) AM. There were a series of interesting facts from the fight.
Ben Chilwell opened Leicester’s goal tap in minute 10. Two minutes later Southampton left back, Ryan Bertrand, received a red card. Since then, Southampton have played with 10 players and Leicester have become even crazier.

Youri Tielemans scored one goal (17 ‘), followed by Ayoze Perez’s hat-trick goals (19’, 39 ‘and 57’) and Jamie Vardy (45 ‘, 58’ and 90 + 4 ‘), and one goal by James Maddison in minute 85. Southampton did not flinch with only 27 percent possession.

“Kasper is really thrilled. The only goalkeeper who has a record of nine (nine club goals to opponents) is his father. We believe in our work, believing we can continue to encourage good performances this season. Our mentality is the way we work every day “The players want to improve and develop,” said Rodgers.
Schmeichel was not the only interesting facts from the match. The following is a complete description summarized from various sources:
1. Leicester became the second team in the Premier League to have two players who scored hat-trick goals in one game (Perez-Vardy), previously Arsenal in May 2003 – also against Southampton – (Jermaine Pennant and Robert Pires).
2. Ayoze Perez followed in the footsteps of former Liverpool striker, Luis Suarez, who incised two successive hat-tricks against the same team. Perez also scored a hat-trick against Southampton in April 2019.
3. Previously Leicester City have never won when playing Premier League matches on a Friday night (the curse has ended).
4. Leicester broke the biggest win record for the away team category in the top competition in the English football division in the 131-year history of the Football League.
