HIGH – Leicester broke a Premier League record – plus the all-time English top-flight record – for the largest away league win when they put nine past Southampton at St Mary’s. The 9-0 victory equalled the biggest-ever triumph in the Premier League and, while it was a Friday night horror show for 10-man Saints, Jamie Vardy and Ayoze Perez netted hat-tricks for the slick Foxes. It extended the Reds’ advantage at the summit to 13 points with a game in hand as the Merseyside club put one hand on the Premier League trophy. It was also their 20th successive league win at home. It forced the Premier League to suspend the division.
