Manage­r says he is proud to stand and own the team, Southa­mpton coach says ‘blame me’SOUTHAMPTON: Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers hailed his team as “ruthless” for their record-equalling 9-0 rout of Southampton in the Premier League on Friday as besieged Saints coach Ralph Hasenhuttl insisted: ‘Blame me’. Ayoze Perez and Jamie Vardy both hit hat-tricks as Rodgers’ side moved second in the table. The rout equalled Manchester United’s 9-0 demolition of Ipswich at Old Trafford in March 1995 for the biggest win in Premier League history. I’m very proud to stand and be the manager of that team,” said Rodgers after a game played out in driving rain at St Mary’s Stadium. That didn’t stop Leicester from raining down goals on Southampton however, with two coming within a minute just before the hour mark.
