Leicester City’s 5-0 win over Southampton leaves them on the brink of promotion to the Premier League
Leicester City boss Enzo Maresca doesn't care whether his side finish first or second in the Championship, just as long as they win automatic promotion. The Foxes are now on the brink of an immediate return to the Premier League after thrashing promotion rivals Southampton 5-0 at the King Power Stadium on Tuesday night.
“It has been a long season, 51 official matches,” Maresca said. “Before tonight’s game, we didn’t know how many points we needed. Two, three, four, five, they lose, they win, who knows? “The good feeling about tonight is now we know that with one win you get promoted. Two days off, recovery, and then we start to prepare for Preston, which is the next one and the most important.
