The fate of Southampton was sealed on Sunday because her 3-1 defeat against Tottenham Hotspur descends her from the Premier League.
The saints fought problems throughout the season and have been rooted since the beginning of November to the end of the league table after they had only gained one of their 20 lights on the day of the day since a 2-0 loss to Wolverhampton Wanderers, which they base them into the overall ranking.
In fact, Southampton’s focus has avoided the undesirable honor in the past few months to become the worst team in the history of the Premier League – a title that is currently held by Derby County from the 2007/08 campaign.
However, the saints claimed a miserable recording from Derby. By falling through the trap door on the 31st matchday, Southampton became the earliest side that has relegated in the history of the competition.
Derby was relegated on March 22, 2008 and held the record for the earliest descent when it came to the calendar’s calendar, but they saw that Huddersfield Town 2018/19 was sealed her fate on matchday 32.
Ivan Juric’s side will now be desperate to avoid further unwanted awards. They are currently sitting on ten points and have to find two more in their remaining seven games to improve the 11 -year derby pictures.
The defeat on Sunday was Southampton’s 25th of the Premier League season. The division record for most losses in a single campaign lies at 29 of Derby, Ipswich Town (1994/95), Sunderland (2005/06) and Sheffield United (2020/21), which means that the saints are no more than three more games to captivate these unwanted honor.
The 2-1 win of the wolves against Ipswich Town on Saturday was of great importance in the race to avoid relegation. Leicester City is currently sitting the 19th place with 17 points from 30 games, while Ipswich are three points further in advance after playing another game.
In the 17th there is a 12-point jump to the wolves. Vitor Pereira’s side seems to have guaranteed that they have guaranteed just seven remaining games.
