Lesley Ugochukwu’s 93rd-minute strike rescued a 1-1 draw as Graham Potter’s men were left stunned by the worst team in the top flight this season.

Although the result has no bearing on Southampton’s season, the result did hold some importance.

That’s because they can now no longer have the single worst Premier League campaign in history.

The south coast side went into the clash against West Ham on ten points, but now are on 11 thanks to the draw.

It means they are level with current record holders Derby County, who set the record for the worst Premier League season in history when they ended 2007/08 campaign on 11 points.
