Leicester 1-2 Southampton: Che Adams strikes twice to cancel out James Maddison’s free-kick


Leicester 1-2 Southampton: Che Adams strikes twice in the second-half to cancel out James Maddison’s free-kick as Foxes winless start to the season continues

  • Southampton came from behind to beat Leicester at the King Power Stadium
  • James Maddison’s superb free-kick gave Leicester the lead after 54 minutes
  • Che Adams scored from close range after 68 minutes to puts visitors level
  • The Scottish striker grabbed his second  with a scissor-kick to seal victory

Left out of the Leicester team because he was not in the right frame of mind to play, Wesley Fofana watched from the stands as his side were booed off for throwing away a lead at home to Southampton.

The centre-back, who is so keen to join Chelsea, sat with his partner among the home fans, signing autographs and posing for photos. Leicester supporters will be wondering how many more times they will see him in this stadium.

Until Fofana’s future is resolved, it is hard to see how Leicester make progress. Even a new contract for Jamie Vardy could not lift the sense of unease, while the opening goal early in the second half – a free-kick from James Maddison – served only to make the home side more nervous.
