Just three points separate the bottom six teams of the Premier League after Southampton's 1-0 win over Leicester.
Date published: Saturday 4th March 2023 7:47 -Carlos Alcaraz’s first-half goal handed Southampton a lifeline as they secured a crucial three points in a 1-0 win over fellow relegation battlers Leicester.
Saints boss Ruben Selles made changes and his gamble, including a rare start for Theo Walcott, paid off as they moved off the foot of the table, albeit on goal difference. It also provided a welcome lift after the shock midweek FA Cup defeat to League Two Grimsby. Leicester had a half-chance of their own in the 20th minute as Kelechi Iheanacho got on the end of a Harvey Barnes free-kick but he was unable to direct the header goalwards.
In the 35th minute however Southampton found the breakthrough, when Che Adams beat the offside trap to pick out Alcaraz and he slotted the ball past Ward.Alcaraz also appeared to injury himself in the celebratory slide, but after receiving some treatment was able to continue, although he did not last beyond the 50th minute.
