Before the
start of Friday's contest, both teams took the time to honor former Leicester
chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha.
The Foxes
gave him the best possible tribute, routing the Saints on their own turf.
Ben Chilwell
got the ball rolling after 10 minutes and Bertrand added to the difficulty by
getting himself sent off for a dangerous tackle in the build-up. The VAR
spotted the incident, and the referee awarded a straight red card.
Within 10
minutes of the dismissal, Youri Tielemans and Perez added two more goals to the
total, and Leicester was cruising along. Perez would add a second goal after 39
minutes, and Vardy made it 5-0 before the half-time whistle finally blew.
But more
goals followed. After a relatively slow start to the second half, Perez and
Vardy struck again just minutes apart. In less than an hour of play, Leicester
had outscored multiple Premier League teams.
And they
still weren't finished. James Maddison joined in on the fun after 85 minutes,
and Vardy completed his hat-trick shortly before the final whistle. The win
moves the Foxes up to second place in the standings, but Manchester City has a
match in hand and can overtake them with a win over Aston Villa on Saturday.
