Continuing their golden streak at the Premiere League this season, Leicester City established a seven-point lead to top the Premier League table with a 1-0 victory over Southampton at the King Power Stadium in Johannesburg on 3 April.

Captain Wes Morgan scored the decisive goal - his first goal of season - through a header in the 38th minute.

Leicester, who were reeling at the relegation zone last season, now require just 12 points from a possible 18 to script one of the most sensational underdog triumphs in world football history, Sport24 reported.

Meanwhile, Southampton remained seventh in the points table after a first defeat in four matches.
