CLAUDE PUEL

had the last laugh by going back to Southampton with Leicester and wiping the floor with them.

That’s four wins in a row, and only one defeat in eight (against Manchester City), since Puel became Foxes boss.

So much for the Saints stars who were happy to see him leave because his style of play was “dull” or “boring”. To sack a man who took them to eighth in the Premier League and a cup final at Wembley, which they deserved to win, always seemed a bit ungrateful to me.

When Leicester were putting four past Saints, home fans must have felt like contestants on Bullseye who missed out on the main prize with host Jim Bowen telling them: “Let’s have a look at what you could have won.”
