Comments:

League position: 7th Southampton had now won six of their last eight Premier League home games (lost one). The Saints had now failed to keep a clean sheet in their last seven Premier League games. Immediately prior to that, they had kept six clean sheets in a row. The Premier League’s Goal Accreditation Panel ruled on the following: - Southampton’s third goal against Newcastle United on Saturday 9th April 2016 has been confirmed as a Victor Wanyama goal. (Circular 20 – 15th April 2016)

Comments:

League position: 19th Newcastle United had now lost their last nine away league games; their longest such run since May to October 1977. They had now conceded three or more goals in ten Premier League games in this season; a joint-league high with bottom-of-the-table Aston Villa.
