EPL: Leicester’s Stunning Comeback Seals Last-Minute Victory Over Southampton

Leicester City completed a remarkable comeback from two goals down, with Jordan Ayew’s stoppage-time goal sealing a dramatic win over Southampton in a Premier League thriller at St Mary’s Stadium.

The Foxes appeared headed for defeat after Cameron Archer and Joe Aribo gave Southampton a deserved 2-0 lead within the first 28 minutes.

EDITOR’S PICKS

Archer capitalized on Ryan Manning’s cross for an easy finish after just eight minutes, while Aribo added a second with a strike from a Kyle Walker-Peters delivery.

Despite Southampton’s dominance, Leicester displayed great resilience, with substitute Abdul Fatawu providing a spark after coming on at the hour mark.

Fatawu’s influence was felt even before Facundo Buonanotte converted his cross to pull one back for Leicester.

Leicester continued to press, and 16 minutes from time, Fatawu’s efforts again turned the game around.

He struck the bar and forced a superb save from Southampton keeper Aaron Ramsdale with a header before a scramble ensued, leading to Ryan Fraser fouling Jamie Vardy in the box.
