Five things we learned from Southampton v Leicester

Champions choking

The lack of title defence from the Foxes has been well documented this term, Ranieri’s side have the joint worst points tally for defending top-flight champions after 22 games, tied with the Ipswich side of 1962-63.

However, they were exceptionally poor on the south coast on Sunday. Failing to take advantage of the counterattacks for which they have become so well known, the Saints were untroubled throughout.
