Southampton Avoid Lowest Premier League Points Record After Draw With Manchester City

Southampton have set a new low in Premier League history by surpassing Derby County's record of 11 points in a season, reaching 12 points after a goalless draw with Manchester City. The Saints were relegated early, with their manager Ivan Juric departing and Simon Rusk taking interim charge, guiding the team to draws against strong opponents including City and Crystal Palace. Despite Manchester City's dominance in possession and attacking attempts, Southampton's disciplined defense and goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale's heroics ensured they remained unbeaten in recent matches. This draw denied Manchester City a chance to climb to second place in the league, highlighting Southampton's resilience despite a challenging campaign. Southampton now have two remaining fixtures to potentially improve their points tally before preparing for a push to return to the Premier League next season. The club's current performance has sparked discussions about the worst teams in Premier League history, with some considering this Southampton side among the most struggling in recent memory.
