The Foxes set a new record for the Premier League's biggest-ever away win after beating Southampton 9-0 in October.

Currently second in the Premier League standings, Leicester have scored the third-highest number of goals, with Liverpool and Manchester City the only other two teams to score more.

They have twice eclipsed City’s Club record for their largest-ever Premier League victory, first beating Newcastle United 5-0 at King Power Stadium in September, before hammering Southampton 9-0 in October.

The emphatic success against the Saints proved to be the joint-biggest win in the Premier League, the largest away victory in the competition and the biggest-ever away triumph in the history of the English Football League.

In addition, Jamie Vardy has scored 14 goals in 15 Premier League appearances – three more than any other player in England’s top flight.
