Southampton's recent defeat to Leicester City has intensified scrutiny over manager Russell Martin, as his team surrendered a two-goal lead to lose 3-2 at home, marking their 21st match without a win in the Premier League. Despite showing significant attacking improvements in the first half, Southampton's defensive collapse allowed Leicester to capitalize, with Jordan Ayew scoring a dramatic late winner. This result leaves Southampton at the bottom of the league standings, equal on points with Wolverhampton Wanderers. The pressure is mounting on Martin, with upcoming fixtures against strong opponents like Manchester City and potential relegation rivals Everton and Wolves, which could be crucial for his future at the club.
