Southampton put Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers on the brink with a dramatic comeback victory at the King Power Stadium.
With Wesley Fofana left out of the squad and Youri Tielemans named only on the bench due to speculation surrounding their respective futures, Brendan Rodgers needed a result against a similarly hapless Southampton.
James Maddison put them on track with a clever free-kick in the second half, but Che Adams equalised almost a quarter of an hour later.
The Southampton striker then doubled his tally to a chorus of boos as Southampton recorded their first victory of the season at the expense of Leicester, who remain winless and struggling on and off the pitch.
Saints’ first Premier League win of the campaign represented their first triumph on the road since February and required a show of resilience after the Foxes went ahead in the 54th minute.
Maddison intelligently beat a poor wall to score a free-kick that Ralph Hasenhuttl’s men bounced back well from, with Leicester-born Adams coming off the bench to lash home a deserved equaliser.
Saints continued to press forward and secured victory as Adams acrobatically turned home James Ward-Prowse’s cross late on. The post denied him a hat-trick in stoppage time.

Leicester had more shots but they were largely restricted to half chances.
Gavin Bazunu produced a solid save to thwart Maddison and Saints teenager Romeo Lavia breathed a sigh of relief when Harvey Barnes dragged wide following his mishit pass.
Leicester took the lead as Saints’ poorly-constructed wall was capitalised on.
Maddison looked as if he would cross the free-kick that was taken from just under 25 yards on the right, but instead he bent a low effort around the wall that beat Bazunu at his near post.
However, Saints rallied strongly as they sought out a leveller.
Timothy Castagne handled when Joe Aribo directed back across goal but nothing was given, with Jamie Vardy hacking behind from the resulting corner.
Mohamed Elyounoussi saw a shot charged down…
