Leicester City 1-2 Southampton: Che Adams double gives Saints first win

Substitute Che Adams scored twice as Southampton came from behind to beat Leicester and get their first Premier League win in nine games.

In-form James Maddison's fantastic free-kick, curled around the wall and into the bottom corner from 25 yards, gave Leicester the lead.

The Saints had barely had a chance before that but the introduction of Adams for Sedou Mara after 59 minutes changed the game.

First he slotted in from seven yards out from Armel Bella-Kotchap's ball after Leicester failed to clear a long throw-in.

He waited six months for that goal, having last scored for the Saints in February, but he only had to wait 16 minutes for his next goal.
