Leicester City moved up to second in the Premier League table on Saturday evening after claiming a 2-0 win over Southampton at the King Power Stadium.

A first half goal from James Maddison and one deep in added time from Harvey Barnes – both assisted by Youri Tielemans – proved the difference between the two sides.

The result sees Leicester close the gap on leaders Manchester United to two points and climb above champions Liverpool ahead of their blockbuster clash at Anfield on Sunday.

Southampton slip one place to eighth with the same points as seventh-placed Chelsea but with smaller goal difference.
