defending champions leicester city's sorry season continues. they lost 3—0 at southampton. of 21 points from 22 games is the joint—worst tally for a reigning top—flight champion. they were totally outclassed by the saints, who snapped their run of four straight league defeats. southampton are up to 11th, while leicester stay 15th. the performance wasn't good. it is my fault. i wanted to change the shape of my team and the two last matches against chelsea i played with three on the back. today i played with a midfielder. and my players didn't understand my idea. a good game. the possibility to finish off this game like before, with a lot of opportunities and chances for us. without leaving for them opportunities to score. it is perfect for us. there was a seven goal thriller in spain as sevilla cut real madrid's lead at the top of the primera division tojust a point, while barcelona arejust one point further behind in third after a thumping 4—0 win over eibar. barca's msn strike force of messi, suarez and neymar were all on the scoresheet, as the catalan giants keep pace with
