Comments:

League position: 18th Fulham had now drawn four consecutive games for the first time since December 2008 (all Premier League). The Whites had now won one of their eight home games so far in this Premier League season (lost four). They had now scored two goals in their last five games in the Premier League (conceded four). As boss Scott Parker was forced to self-isolate due to a member of his household testing positive for COVID-19, assistant manager Stuart Gray - a former Southampton manager - took charge of the team for this game.

Comments:

League position: 9th Southampton had now equaled their club record of remaining unbeaten in seven consecutive away games in the top division. The Saints failed to win for the first time in their last ten games in the Premier League against a newly-promoted team. They had now failed to score in consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since October 2018. Theo Walcott scored after 85 minutes but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review due to an offside decision.
