Leicester Thrash Southampton To Close On Premier League Return

Abdul Fatawu scored a hat-trick as Leicester thrashed Southampton 5-0 to move to the brink of promotion back to the Premier League on Tuesday.

Wilfred Ndidi and Jamie Vardy were also on target for the Foxes, who need just one more win from their remaining two games to guarantee a place in the Championship's top two.

A chastening defeat ends Southampton's chances of automatic promotion as they now must recover in time for the playoffs.

Leicester moved four points clear of Leeds with both sides having two matches remaining.
