"Worst team in EPL history" Southampton 'disgrace' earliest relegation with 7G left

Blog Article

Southampton lost to Tottenham Hotspur and will start the 2025-2026 second division championship. It is a relegation with seven games left, and it is said to be the earliest relegation in the history of the English Premier League (EPL), which began in 1992.
Southampton lost 1-3 in an away match against Tottenham in the 31st round of the EPL in the 2024-2025 season at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, at 10 p.m. on the 6th (Korea time). In the first half alone, they conceded two goals. They tried to recover one goal belatedly, but lost their game by losing another goal.

With the defeat, Southampton had 10 points with two wins, four draws and 25 losses. The team remains at the bottom of the EPL, making it impossible to rank 17th within the EPL system, in which the bottom three teams are automatically demoted regardless of the remaining matches. Wolverhampton at the 17th place has 32 points with nine wins, five draws and 17 losses, but the team could no longer come from behind. Ipswich Town at the 18th place also has 12 points against Wolverhampton, making it impossible to come from behind. In fact, the Ipswich Town at the 18th place and Leicester City at the 19th place (17 points) are likely to be demoted as well. Literally, there is only a possibility for arithmetic.

Local media including the BBC reported that Southampton had been demoted with the most games left in the history of the EPL. The previous record was fastest in relegation (Ipswich Town in the 1994-1995 season, Derby County in the 2007-2008 season, Huddersfield Town in the 2018-2019 season, and Sheffield United in the 2020-2021 season) with six games remaining. The British Daily Star criticized Southampton as the worst team in the history of the EPL.

Southampton have already decided to separate themselves from Ivan Juric, 50, and are internally looking for a new coach. Now, the team is moving beyond the minimum number of points in the EPL history. If the team fails to score a single point in the remaining seven games, it will break Derby County's record of 11-point minimum in the 2007-2008 season. 카지노

"We must avoid setting a new record of the lowest number of points. We will do our best. This is not something that should happen," Juric told Sky Sports of the U.K. On his future, Juric said, "I haven't thought about it yet. We will think about everything later. We are only thinking about the remaining games. We need to come back stronger as we deserve more of our fans and understand the mistakes we made."
