Leicester City recorded the biggest ever English top-flight away win by beating 10-man Southampton 9-0 at a rain-sodden St Mary's to move up to second place in the Premier League on Friday.

The biggest margin of victory on the road previously was eight goals, a joint record held by three clubs including an 8-1 win by Manchester United over Nottingham Forest in 1999.

The result also equalled Manchester United's record for the largest win ever in the Premier League in a 9-0 win at home against Ipswich Town in 1995.

Jamie Vardy and Ayoze Perez both had hat tricks on the rainy night at Southampton, who saw Ryan Bertrand sent off with a straight red in the 12th minute to set the visitors on their way for the record victory.

It was the first time since 2014 that two hat tricks had been scored on a single day in the Premier League when Yaya Toure did it for Manchester City and Luis Suarez scored three for Liverpool.

The nine goals puts Brendan Rodgers' side up to 25 for the season, good for second in Europe's top-five leagues behind the 29 that Man City have scored.

Leicester also leapfrogged Man City into second place in the table pending the result of the defending champions' match against Aston Villa on Saturday.
