Leicester City thought they could break Premier League record, says hat-trick hero Vardy

Jamie Vardy revealed Leicester City felt they could break Manchester United's Premier League record for the biggest ever win as they equalled the mark with a 9-0 rout on the road against 10-man Southampton.

The Foxes went second in the table as they achieved the biggest away win in Premier League history, surpassing Man Utd's 8-1 win at Nottingham Forest in 1999, but fell just short of bettering the Red Devils 9-0 win against Ipswich Town in 1995.

Vardy and Ayoze Perez both secured hat-tricks, with Ben Chilwell, Youri Tielemans and James Maddison also scoring as the Saints struggled to defend once Ryan Bertrand was sent off early in the first half.
