Shane Long scores as Saints mount a surprising rearguard action to hold off the Foxes for a massive win.

With a sending off, a penalty, an astonishing 10-man close-out, and a Shane Long goal, Southampton’s trip to the King power Stadium had it all.

This performance marks the best backline display in years. Despite being breached once and being put under intense pressure, SFC put on a resolute and composed display.

And in case you missed it the first-time around, Shane Long scored! That in of itself makes the match worthy of a DVD release.
