Southampton have been relegated from the Premier League after a 2-0 defeat against Fulham.
Ruben Selles’ side needed to win to keep their hopes of staying in the top-flight alive as they dreamed of a ‘great escape’. However, Fulham cruised to a comfortable victory at St Mary’s Stadium, courtesy of second-half goals from Carlos Vinicius and Aleksandar Mitrovic.
Saints will now play their football in the Championship next season for the first time in 11 years following a terrible campaign.
Southampton have won just six of their 36 top-flight fixtures so far and are winless in 11 games since their 1-0 win over Leicester on March 4.
