“He was Totally DISASTROUS was caught napping for both goals on PITCH he deserves to be Bench”- Leicester City player ratings vs Southampton, including disastrous 4/10 defensive display and super-subs impact in comeback win
Leicester City staged a comeback from two goals down to defeat Southampton on Saturday.
Cameron Archer put the home side ahead, followed by Joel Aribo, who extended their lead just before the half-hour mark. Facundo Buonanotte narrowed the gap for Leicester after good work from Abdul Fatawu, but it was a frustrating defeat that led to boos for Steve Cooper’s side at the final whistle.
Jamie Vardy equalized from the penalty spot after Ryan Fraser was sent off for denying a clear goalscoring opportunity. The Foxes then pressed for a winner, which came at the very last moment when Jordan Ayew scored, securing back-to-back victories for Leicester.
Here’s how we rated the Leicester City players’ performances:
**Mads Hermansen**
A familiar story for Leicester, who would be worse off without him. He conceded two goals but prevented more from going in.
**Rating: 6/10**
**James Justin**
Both first-half goals came down his side, a recurring issue this season. He was often beaten and seemed a step behind.
**Rating: 4/10**
**Wout Faes**
Caught out for both goals and has contributed to many of the team’s defensive lapses this season. Criticized by Belgian media for a penalty given away midweek, he needs to take responsibility again.
**Rating: 5/10**
**Caleb Okoli**
Left Aribo completely unmarked for the second goal and was part of a back four that looked disorganized.
**Rating: 5/10**
**Victor Kristiansen**
Struggled against Tyler Dibling’s pace but was slightly more solid defensively than his teammates.
**Rating: 5/10**
**Wilfred Ndidi**
Lacked composure and lost the ball frequently. He struggled in midfield battles and seemed off his game.
**Rating: 5/10**
**Oliver Skipp**
Substituted at halftime for Harry Winks, he was the more composed of the two holding midfielders but felt overburdened and couldn’t make a significant impact.
**Rating: 6/10**
**Facundo Buonanotte**
One of the few players who looked capable of creating chances. Showed determination and earned his goal.
**Rating: 8/10**
**Bilal El Khannouss**
Had Leicester’s best first-half chance with a shot that hit the post and tried to be a creative force despite a lack of support.
**Rating: 6/10**
**Stephy Mavididi**
Had minimal involvement and failed to make an impact, marking his quietest game of the season.
**Rating: 5/10**
**Jamie Vardy**
Limited to half-chances throughout the game but stepped up when needed to score and equalize.
**Rating: 7/10**
**Substitutes**
Harry Winks (6/10), Abdul Fatawu (7/10), Jordan Ayew (7/10), Bobby De Cordova-Reid (N/A)
