Ex-Liverpool attacker Danny Ings scored the winner for Southampton against Leicester to extend his rich vein of goalscoring form and hand his former side a massive advantage in the title race.
Ings’ strike in the 81st minute was enough to separate the two sides as he netted his 14th strike so far this season.
The game ended 2-1 with what looked like a late Jonny Evans equalizer ultimately ruled out just minutes from time in a dramatic end to proceedings at the King Power Stadium.
