Premier league: Leicester fight back to clinch 3-2 win

Jordan Ayew scored in the 98th minute as Leicester staged a second-half comeback to earn a 3-2 win at Southampton in the Premier League on Saturday, with the 10-man hosts setting a club record of 21 matches without victory in the English top-flight.

Leicester moved up to 13th in the standings with nine points from eight matches, while Southampton fell to 20th - level on points with Wolverhampton Wanderers, who face champions Manchester City on Sunday. “It’s just unbelievable, that’s why we play football. We didn’t have a good first half,” Ayew said.

“It’s a good step forward to move up the table. We’re going to continue fighting and it’s not going to be easy so well done the lads and everyone.” Having failed to win in their last 13 matches in the 2022-23 season when they were relegated, Southampton are without a win in the Premier League since they beat Leicester in the same fixture in March 2023.

Man United overwhelm Brentford 2-1

Alejandro Garnacho scored from a brilliant volley as Manchester United fought back to beat Brentford 2-1 in the English Premier League on Saturday. The Argentina international fired home from a tight angle when connecting with Marcus Rashford’s cross just after halftime. It sparked a comeback that saw Rasmus Hojlund hit the winner to secure United only its third league victory. It looked like being another disappointing day for United and Ten Hag, who was angered when Ethan Pinnock opened the scoring for Brentford in contentious circumstances in first half added time. United defender Matthijs de Ligt was ordered off for medical attention because his head was bleeding following an earlier collision. United responded quickly after the break thanks to Garnacho’s goal in the 47th. Hojlund flicked past Brentford goalkeeper Mark Flekken in the 62nd.
