Leicester City were frustrated in their attempt to strengthen their grip on third spot as they were held to a 1-1 draw by 10-man Southampton.
Saints played for 80 minutes at a numerical disadvantage following Jannik Vestergaard's early red card for denying Jamie Vardy a goalscoring opportunity.
James Maddison curled the resulting free-kick narrowly wide as Leicester looked to capitalise.
And Southampton went on to frustrate the Foxes, restricting them to long-range efforts from Maddison and Youri Tielemans in a goalless first half.
James Ward-Prowse fired Saints 1-0 ahead with a 61st-minute penalty after Kelechi Iheanacho had handled.
But Leicester were back on level terms just eight minutes later through Jonny Evans' close-range header from Iheanacho's inviting delivery.
Vardy was denied by Alex McCarthy, Iheanacho headed over and Wilfred Ndidi lashed wide as Leicester pressed for a late winner, but Southampton held on for a share of the points.
Leicester stay third with 63 points, eight clear of fifth-placed West Ham United.
Southampton move up to 14th on 37 points, 10 points clear of the relegation zone, with five matches remaining.
