Soccer-Southampton avoid dubious record with City draw, Brentford keep Europe hopes alive

SOUTHAMPTON, England (Reuters) -Southampton gave their long-suffering fans something to cheer about with a surprise 0-0 draw with Manchester City on Saturday that saw the rock bottom team avoid tying Derby County as the worst Premier League side in history. Pep Guardiola's City remained third in the table on 65 points with two games remaining in their bid for Champions League qualification. Newcastle United and Chelsea, who meet on Sunday, are only two points behind. Nottingham Forest, who also have a game in hand, trail by four. Brentford's pursuit of a first-ever European qualification gained strength with their 1-0 victory over already-relegated Ipswich Town, while Brighton & Hove Albion claimed a 2-0 win at Wolverhampton Wanderers to keep them within touching distance of playing in Europe next season. Fulham's hopes of European football next season are fading fast, however, after they slipped to a fourth Premier League defeat in five games with a 3-1 loss to Everton. Already-relegated Southampton had looked likely to equal Derby County's season-low tally of 11 points in 2007-08, but the draw moved them to 12 as their fans at a sun-drenched St Mary's Stadium sung loudly in celebration. Manchester City thoroughly dominated with 26 shots to the home side's two, but Southampton defended in numbers, particularly in the dying minutes, to deny them. Their game plan drew criticism from City's Ruben Diaz. "It's frustrating to play against a team like them. They don't even try to play, just wasting time the whole game," Diaz told Sky Sports. "I don't even feel like they want to play the game or win the game. They are just sitting around. We tried every way. We had chances but we didn't score." Southampton goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale was proud of his team. "We've had a tough, tough season, we've had tough Monday mornings after heavy defeats," Ramsdale told Sky Sports. "We spoke about trying to be respectful and giving our all for the football club. Today we put smiles on the Southampton fans' faces. It's just a relief to be honest." At Portman Road, Brentford won their fourth in a row on a first-half header by Kevin Schade to leave them eighth in the table with 55 points, while Ipswich are 18th. Schade scored in the 18th minute when he met Bryan Mbeumo's corner and steered the ball into the far corner. "Incredible pride to be part of this group of players and staff. So difficult to win four games in a row," Brentford manager Thomas Frank told the BBC. LASER FOCUSED "I see a strong team on form, we have got the momentum which is important. We are close to finishing eighth which would be the best position ever in the league. We are laser focused." At Wolverhampton, goals from Danny Welbeck and substitute Brajan Gruda saw Brighton move up one place to ninth, level on 55 points with eighth-placed Brentford. Wolves fell to 14th. Should Manchester City defeat Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final this month, an eighth-place league finish would secure qualification for the Conference League. "I think we were up against a good side and they're in good form. We had a gameplan and we played it out well," Welbeck told Premier League Productions. Brighton were awarded a penalty in the 28th minute for a foul by Matheus Cunha on Mats Wieffer, and Welbeck stepped up to put the ball in the net for his 10th league goal this season. Brighton doubled their lead in the 85th minute as German Gruda scored his first goal for the south-coast club, delicately dinking the ball over onrushing keeper Jose Sa after being played in by Simon Adingra. Fulham's loss at Craven Cottage saw them remain 11th in the table with 51 points from 36 games, four points back of the top eight, while Everton climbed one spot to 13th. Raul Jimenez gave Fulham a deserved lead in the first half with a powerful header before Vitaliy Mykolenko's deflected shot from the edge of the box levelled the score on the stroke of halftime. Two goals in three minutes from Michael Keane and Beto, who profited from an error by goalkeeper Bernd Leno, turned the game in Everton's favour in the second half and dealt their host's European dreams a heavy blow. "It is the story of the last three or four games," Fulham manager Marco Silva told BBC. "Goals have come from set-pieces. We have to be willing to fight, do our job well and we didn't. It's about concentration and focus." Bournemouth face Aston Villa in Saturday's late game. (Reporting by Lori Ewing in Manchester, England; editing by Pritha Sarkar)

Southampton pass Derby's record low after holding Man City to surprise draw
Southampton finally rid themselves of the spectre of being crowned the joint worst team in Premier League history after somehow holding Manchester City to a goalless draw. Rock-bottom and already relegated, Saints battled to secure their 12th point of a sorry season which eased them past Derby's record low tally of 11 in 2007/08. Advertisement This may have been one of the most one-sided 0-0 draws in Premier League history, with City having 72 per cent possession, 26 shots to Southampton's two and 68 touches in the Saints box compared to just seven for the hosts. A goalless affair between Southampton and Man City leaves the race for Champions League spots well and truly alive 🤝 #SOUMCI — Premier League (@premierleague) May 10, 2025 But no one of a red and white persuasion on the south coast cared when the final whistle blew to give Saints a crumb of comfort, however small, from a dreadful campaign. This was far from a dead-rubber for City, who are still not assured of a Champions League spot yet could have moved level with second-placed Arsenal with a win. Saints almost gifted them an early own goal when Jan Bednarek hit a clearance straight into the backside of team-mate Flynn Downes with the ball rolling just wide. Advertisement Downes denied Josko Gvardiol at the far post from a Kevin De Bruyne free-kick, and Bednarek had to clear after Gvardiol hooked Phil Foden's cross back across goal. Kevin De Bruyne was unable to make the breakthrough for Manchester City (Andrew Matthews/PA) De Bruyne has always enjoyed playing Saints having registered four goals and 10 assists against them, and the Belgian had a chance to add to his tally after he was dragged back by Lesley Ugochukwu, only to curl the free-kick just over. As the first half drew to a close Bernardo Silva saw a shot deflected wide with Manuel Akanji heading over from the corner. It was more of the same after the break with Saints getting bodies in the way to repel shots from Silva, Foden and Mateo Kovacic. Advertisement Erling Haaland, back after missing seven matches through injury in a bid to prove his fitness for the FA Cup final, just failed to get his foot to a Foden free-kick, catching home goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale instead, and Jack Stephens cleared Silva's scuffed shot from underneath the crossbar. Erling Haaland tries to make the breakthrough (Andrew Matthews/PA) But Southampton, suddenly fancying their chances of a third win this season, burst forward out of nowhere and substitute Cameron Archer laid the ball off to Mateus Fernandes, whose shot was blocked by Ruben Dias. Moments later Ramsdale came out bravely to half Haaland as he chased a Jeremy Doku cross and then palmed away Akanji's downward header. City should have gone ahead when Haaland raced on to De Bruyne's through-ball, cut inside Bednarek and rolled it across goal but Nico O'Reilly, on moments earlier for Foden, could not complete the finish. Advertisement Ramsdale then flung himself to his right to keep out Savinho's close-range effort and tipped a Dias header over the crossbar. Sorry if we got your hopes up, @dcfcofficial 😬 — Southampton FC (@SouthamptonFC) May 10, 2025 A groan went around St Mary's as an agonising seven minutes of stoppage time was announced, and moments later City substitute Omar Marmoush rifled a shot against the crossbar before, eventually, the sheer relief of the final whistle engulfed the ground.

Southampton 1-2 Fulham - the fans' verdict
We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Southampton and Fulham at St Mary' are some of your replies:Southampton fansChris: Utter dross. These are supposedly 'professional' footballers - I think they need to take a long hard look at themselves in the mirror. I've seen more skill and passion from non-league A game of two halves - the nostalgic Southampton of then and the daunting Southampton of now. Simon Rusk has elevated us from 'that bad' to 'not that bad', and we looked like dominant for the first 45 minutes. Unfortunately, the second half underscored our disappointing season and the sad reality that lesser sides like Fulham, among others, have overtaken us. It left me with doubt that we could ever return to our glory I'm not sure how many time Jan Bednarek has cost us points this season. I realise that at times he has saved us, but sadly neither he nor Jack Stephens are Premier League standard and they never have been. Our defence was tired and disorganised but I wasn't aware of any forwards having a pop at goal. If you don't shoot you won't score! I'm not sure why folk thought Ross Stewart was the prodigal son returning. I've not seen anything to persuade me of his value to the club. Sell him!Marc: Stephens was a gladiator - he gave it his all. It's a shame the rest of his team couldn't be bothered. Super Jack fansMatthew: A pretty poor performance, particularly in the first half. Many individual errors throughout the whole game and we were very lucky that Southampton had no threat. Credit where it's due for Southampton's gameplan, but also the Fulham substitutes were impactful. I also felt Southampton's substitute of Stewart for Cameron Archer really helped Fulham. A win is a win!Richard: Three points, but what a struggle to get there. They are not likely to make Europe - they are just too inconsistent and conceding late goals has been their We never make it easy for ourselves. We need Crystal Palace to lose the FA Cup final for eighth place to be good enough. We need to do all that we can to keep our I really can't understand why Marco Silva keeps playing Andreas Pereira because he makes very little contribution to the overall game. Time and time again he fails to make a decent cross from a corner and worse still his free kicks are consistently poor. His unnecessary tackle in the 17th minute gifted Southampton their first attempt. Time to go, I think.
