Leicester City Ends Home Goal Drought, Defeats Southampton 2-0

Leicester City ended a nine-game home losing streak and a record 826-minute home goal drought with a 2-0 win over Southampton, as Jamie Vardy scored his 199th goal for the club and Jordan Ayew added a second before halftime. Manager Ruud van Nistelrooy expressed relief at breaking the cycle of poor home results, highlighting the team's improved confidence and determination to finish the season positively. The match was notable for an unusual incident in which referee David Webb was injured and replaced, causing a lengthy stoppage. Southampton, already relegated like Leicester, will finish bottom of the Premier League for a record-equalling third time, with their interim manager Simon Rusk citing the psychological toll of the season on his players. Both clubs will play in the Championship next season following their relegation from the top flight.
