Analysis: Southampton 1-2 Arsenal
There was, on paper, very little to play for at St Mary' Southampton, meanwhile, had their fate confirmed on 6 April – the earliest relegation in Premier League history. Overtaking Derby County's record low mark of 11 points with a goalless draw against Manchester City a fortnight ago provided a rare moment of cheer in a dismal while Sunday's result made no difference to the table, for Southampton's players the match was an opportunity to impress with incoming manager Will Still watching on from the was confirmed as Ivan Juric's successor on a three-year contract before kick-off, becoming the club's fifth permanent manager since the start of the 2022-23 inherits a side in dire straits. Southampton picked up just 12 points this season and are on a 14-match winless run stretching back to 1 February. They also have the unwanted twin honours of the league's worst attack (26 goals) and worst defence (86 goals).There were positive signs in this latest defeat. Southampton frequently troubled Arsenal on the break, with Kamaldeen Sulemana's pace causing the visitors plenty of problems.

'A missed opportunity'
This was always going to be a tricky one to navigate for Southampton. The Premier League's lowest scorers simply could not out-think a Burnley defence that just do not concede goals. Dare I say it was the perfect game for Saints forward and West Brom loanee Adam Armstrong, who got on the scoresheet for his new club a pretty abject performance, I thought Kamaldeen Sulemana had a good game for Southampton. He was lively, tricky and one of the few players who wanted to get on the ball and play. With Premier League relegation almost an inevitability, keeping hold of players like Sulemana will be imperative if Ivan Juric's side are to mount an immediate promotion challenge next were no points at stake on Saturday, but you feel that this was a missed opportunity to gain some momentum following that win at Ipswich last week.

RC Lens have lodged a bid to sign Southampton winger Kamaldeen Sulemana (22) on loan, according to a report from . The Ghanaian winger joined Southampton from Stade Rennais back in January 2023 for a €25m fee. Sulemana's minutes have been limited this season for the Saints, who currently look on course for relegation from the Premier League. He has made just three starts in the league and Lens are looking to offer him a route out of Saint Mary's. Foot Mercato understands that that paid loan deal – with an option to make the move permanent – has been proposed by the Ligue 1 club. However, this has been rejected by the Premier League club, who are specific in their demands. Southampton would be open to selling Sulemana for a fee between €8-9m. They would also like a sell-on clause inserted into any deal. The player himself would be open to a move to the Stade Bollaert. GFFN | Luke Entwistle
