Comments:

League position: 14th Southampton had now lost 11 of their last 14 games in the Premier League (won two). If the season had started on 1 January 2021, the Saints would now be in bottom position in the Premier League with ten points from 15 games. 95 goals had now been scored in their 31 games so far in this Premier League season (39 for, 56 against); only Leeds United's games had produced more (98).
