How Foxes' capitulation sums up season 'in a nutshell'

"The Foxes were three goals up at half-time and still leading 3-1 until the 81st minute, only to go on to lose 4-3 in front of their own fans at the King Power Stadium with Shea Charles stunning the hosts and deepening relegation fears with a 96th-minute winner. Leicester's interim head coach Andy King said he felt "sheer anger" after what was the third defeat in three games since taking caretaker charge after Marti Cifuentes' sacking just over two weeks ago."

"The long-anticipated points penalty last week dropped the Foxes into a relegation fight their legal team had managed to keep the club away from until the final four months of the campaign. Leicester, the club famed for its 5,000-1 Premier League title win a decade ago, are now only outside the drop zone on goal difference and even then, have played a game more than Blackburn who are immediately below them in the relegation places."

"The loss against Southampton, the way the Foxes went from the sublime, as they led 3-0 inside first half-hour, to the diabolical as they conceded three goals in 14 minutes to crumble in defeat, was described by King as Leicester's "season in a nutshell". After goalkeeper Asmir Begovic used the strained old cliche that the game was "one of two halves""

Leicester City surrendered a 3-0 lead to lose 4-3 at home to Southampton, conceding three goals in 14 minutes and a 96th-minute winner by Shea Charles. The defeat was the club's third in three games under interim head coach Andy King, who said he felt "sheer anger". A recent six-point deduction by the EFL for historical spending breaches plunged the club into a relegation fight. Leicester now sit only outside the drop zone on goal difference, having played one more match than the side immediately below them.
