“Today’s result confirms our place in next season’s Championship.”

Southampton Breaks a Premier League Record
Southampton’s fall into the Championship was swift and brutal.
The club has set a Premier League record for the earliest relegation, achieving this feat after just 31 rounds.
The previous record was held by Ipswich Town and Derby County, who both went down with 6 matches remaining in 1995 and 2008, respectively.
In a season that saw Southampton win only two matches and draw four, they have also conceded a staggering 74 goals.
This puts the club in an unfortunate position, making them the team with the worst defensive record in the league.
Their attacking efforts were also far from enough, as they scored just 23 goals in 31 games.
A Disastrous Season for Southampton
This season was supposed to be about survival, but instead, it turned into one of the most difficult campaigns in Southampton’s history.
Their hopes of remaining in the Premier League quickly faded as the season wore on.
Now, with only seven matches left, their relegation is confirmed, and they must now focus on rebuilding in the Championship.
Despite the bitter end to the season, Southampton will look forward to next year with the aim of returning to the Premier League stronger and more prepared.
