Southampton avoid Premier League 'worst-ever' tag with Man City draw

Southampton secured a 0-0 draw against Manchester City on May 10, 2025, at St Mary's Stadium on England's south coast.
The draw came after Southampton's early relegation, two managerial changes, and a historically poor Premier League season.
Manchester City dominated possession and took 26 shots but could only manage five on target, failing to break down Southampton's defense.
Southampton reached 12 points this season, surpassing Derby County’s lowest Premier League record of 11 points from 2007-08, prompting a social media dig at Derby.
The draw prevented Southampton from holding the joint-worst Premier League points total, while Manchester City remain third but risk dropping behind Newcastle or Chelsea.
