Comments:

League position: 5th Southampton became the 11th team to take 1,000 points from their games in the Premier League (played 821, won 259, lost 339). This was the Saints' first win in their last 15 games in the Premier League played on a Monday since a 1-0 victory at West Ham United on 2 December 2002 (lost seven). They had now scored in ten consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since December 2002. Southampton were awarded a penalty after 79 minutes following a VAR review for a foul.
