The Ghanaian sent Leicester into the lead before the break. In the second half, he completed the hat-trick after scoring twice more.

Onyinye Ndidi and Jamie Vardy scored the other two goals for Leicester.

Now they only need three points to be guaranteed promotion to the Premier League.

Southampton could have hoped for direct promotion if they beat Leicester, but were humiliated at the King Power Stadium.

The other two teams hoping for direct promotion are Leeds United and Ipswich Town. The latter has one game to his credit.

Leicester, Leeds and Southampton were all relegated from the Premier League this season.

Two teams are promoted directly from the Championship, while the third promoted team must go via a playoff.
