Leicester City captain Souttar accepts responsibility for heavy Oxford United loss

Leicester City captain Harry Souttar stated the team failed to produce the bare minimum following a 4-0 home defeat by Oxford United. The result marks the largest margin of defeat in Leicester's history while competing this far down the league structure. The defeat has generated intense pressure on head coach Russell Martin, with former Foxes forward Matt Piper describing the display as a sackable performance. Souttar, who leads a youthful squad in League One, acknowledged the players were responsible for the lack of competitive edge throughout the match. The club had previously secured their first league win of the season against Plymouth Argyle mid-week before this result. Leicester next plays Stockport County on Saturday.
