Leicester City beat Southampton 5-0 at home in a Championship 38-round make-up match this early this morning to extend their lead to four points, and with two rounds of the league remaining, Leicester City's promotion hopes are growing. In this game, the 37-year-old legendary veteran Vardy contributed a pass and once again contributed to the team at a critical moment, and the next two games are likely to be his curtain call for Leicester City.
Before this game, Leicester City led the way with 91 points, second place Leeds United followed with 90 points, and Southampton were six points behind Leeds United with a game in hand, still hoping to compete for a direct promotion spot. In the 25th minute, Hall assisted Fattau to score, and in the second half, Ndidi and Vardy scored respectively, and Fattau scored a hat-trick to give Leicester City a big win.
With the win, Leicester are four points ahead of Leeds United and five points ahead of third-placed Ipswich Town (with a game in hand) and are very close to promotion with two games left in the league. In this weekend's game, Leeds United, who lead the game, will have to secure a promotion spot if they lose, or Leicester City win later, and the other promotion place is likely to be between Leeds United and Ipswich Town.
The 37-year-old Vardy, who once again showed his excellent form by contributing a passing in this game, has already broken through double figures early in his goals this season and has often been a substitute for the team. However, Jamie Vardy's contract with Leicester City expires this summer and has yet to be renewed, and if the renewal fails, Vardy will leave Leicester City, and a number of Premier League, Championship and MLS teams have already offered him an olive branch. Of course, fans will definitely want to see Vardy return to Leicester City.
