Southampton Matches Derby's Record Low EPL Points Total

Southampton avoided becoming the sole holders of the Premier League's worst-ever points tally after a dramatic 1-1 draw against West Ham United. Lesley Ugochukwu's stoppage-time equalizer ensured the Saints matched Derby County's infamous record of 11 points from the 2007/08 season, with five games still remaining for Southampton to potentially surpass that mark. While the result offers little consolation in a disappointing campaign that has already seen them relegated, it provides a measure of relief for the team and interim boss Simon Rusk. West Ham, under new manager Graham Potter, continued their own struggles, now winless in six games, drawing boos from their supporters. The match highlighted Southampton's resilience and West Ham's ongoing difficulties despite a managerial change. The Saints' late goal means Derby County's unwanted record remains at least temporarily shared.
