Southampton relegated from Premier League with seven games remaining

Southampton has made Premier League history by being relegated with seven matches left in the season, after a 3-1 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, marking their 25th loss this campaign. This early relegation sets a new record for the earliest confirmed drop in the league's history, with the team now sitting at the bottom with only 10 points. Manager Ivan Jurić, appointed mid-season, has struggled to turn the team's fortunes around, recording just one win since taking charge. As Southampton prepares for a Championship campaign, they face the potential of breaking Derby County's record low points total of 11 from the 2007-08 season. The club's relegation comes just 315 days after their promotion from the Championship, highlighting a drastic decline in performance. Early reports suggest the club intends to retain Jurić for a long-term rebuild despite this disastrous season.
