Leicester City Defeats Southampton, Vardy Scores Again

Leicester City defeated Southampton 2-0 in a match between two already-relegated Premier League teams, with Jamie Vardy scoring his 199th goal for the club and a teammate adding a second before halftime. Vardy's opener ended Leicester's five-month home goal drought and marked a major personal milestone as he prepares to leave after 13 years with the club. The match saw a 12-minute delay after referee David Webb suffered a head injury, with fourth official Sam Barrott stepping in, and Vardy amusingly blowing the whistle during the stoppage. Southampton remain bottom with 11 points, matching Derby County's all-time Premier League low, and have three games left to avoid setting a new record. The win ended Leicester's 11-match winless streak and marked their first home league goal since December 2024. Southampton fans showed frustration at their manager's substitutions, reflecting the team's ongoing struggles.
