Southampton still at risk of tying record for lowest EPL points total

Southampton wasted a chance to avoid a share of the lowest points total in Premier League history as Jamie Vardy's 199th Leicester goal inspired a 2-0 win at the King Power Stadium.

Simon Rusk's bottom of the table team are trying to avoid finishing with just 11 points - which would match Derby's low mark set in 2007-08.

But Southampton's hopes of getting a 12th point quickly faded against fellow relegated side Leicester.

After announcing last week that he will leave the club at the end of the season, the 38-year-old Vardy bagged a farewell goal as he put second-bottom Leicester ahead in the 17th minute.

The game was delayed for 11 minutes when referee David Webb was forced off with a head injury after colliding with Leicester's Jordan Ayew.

Vardy cheekily blew the referee's whistle while he was being treated.

Leicester finally won for the first time since January as Ayew grabbed the second goal in the 44th minute.

Southampton have now lost 28 of their 35 league games and have three matches left to avoid sharing the low points record with Derby.
