Saturday's reverse at home to Aston Villa means Southampton have now lost 26 of their 32 Premier League games this season, the most defeats across a single league campaign in the club's history. Their 13 home defeats is also a club record in the top flight,

Aston Villa had to rely on substitutes Ollie Watkins, Donyell Malen and John McGinn to give them a 3-0 away win at relegated Southampton in the Premier League on Saturday. Watkins scored in the 73rd minute and Malen six minutes later after both came on midway through the second half to help lift Villa to fifth in the standings.
