A massive 3 points at the King Power. I absolutely love a weekend when Saints win away and Pompey lose at home. If Carlsberg did Saturdays...
We poured more pressure on Claude Puel as we beat Leicester 2-1 despite playing for 45 minutes with 10 men. We were at full throttle from the first whistle at the King Power Stadium and took a deserved lead when James Ward-Prowse converted from the penalty spot.
Leicester looked to have a way back into the game when Yan Valery showed his inexperience by picking up a second yellow card. However, Shane Long netted just 90 seconds later (45+1) to give the us a two-goal cushion heading into the break, it was Long's first goal of the season and just his second goal in his last 62 appearances!
Wilfred Ndidi pulled one back but Puel's men were too predictable in their play and we held on to give new boss Ralph Hasenhuttl a third win in his seven Premier League games in charge and move us out of the relegation places!
Oh and not to mention Portsmouth lost... what a Saturday!
