Southampton have been relegated from the Premier League after an 11-year spell in the top flight. Goals from Fulham’s Carlos Vinicius and Aleksandar Mitrovic inflicted the defeat on them. 

It’s disappointing but it’s a moment that has been coming, We’d put ourselves in a difficult position and I thought we did well to take it to this stage of the season. When these sorts of things happen, you go away individually and as a club and reflect on whether we did everything we could to achieve our goal. I don’t think we have and that’s a shame as I feel it is about having no regrets and leaving everything out there.

“Over the course of the season that has caught up with us. Ultimately, that’s why we are where we are now.” “I’ve been on a journey with the club since I was eight years old – I’ve seen the ups and downs, the good times and the bad. This is a bad time, but I’m sure with the good people at the club it will be back in the Premier League in no time.” Midfielder, Ward-Prowse dejectedly stated.
