SOUTHAMPTON avoided the joint-lowest Premier League points record.
Ironically, they did so against the four-time defending champions Manchester City in a drab goalless draw at St Mary’s.

Southampton went into the game with the only thing to play for trying to reach 12 points – one more than Derby managed in 2007-08.
At the end of a lifeless first half, Lesley Ugochukwu somehow escaped a second yellow – much to the fury of Manchester City players… and no doubt Arsenal fans, too.
Saints put their bodies on the line throughout the second half.
Omar Marmoush came the closest to breaking the deadlock, hitting the crossbar in the first of seven minutes of injury time.
But Southampton held on to cling on to that precious clean sheet.
THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY..
