Leicester 1-2 Southampton: Danny Ings scores late winner
Danny Ings has now scored 17 goals across all competitions this season
Danny Ings scored a fine late goal to deny Leicester a third successive Premier League win and secure three points for Southampton at King Power Stadium.
The Foxes took an early lead when Dennis Praet tapped in his first goal for the club but any thoughts of a repeat of the 9-0 thrashing by Leicester when the sides met in October were quickly dispelled when Stuart Armstrong equalised with a deflected shot.
Danny Ings, who has now scored 10 goals in his last 10 league starts, was a thorn in Leicester's side all afternoon and having already struck the crossbar twice, he slotted through Kasper Schmeichel's legs late on.
Leicester did score a 90th-minute equaliser through Jonny Evans but the video assistant referee (VAR) ruled it out for offside.
The victory sees Southampton remain 12th, but move level on points with Everton and Arsenal, while Leicester stay second but 12 points behind Liverpool, who play in the late kick-off.
