Southampton set an unwanted record on Sunday as they became the first team in Premier League history to be relegated with seven matches left to play.
A 3-1 defeat at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur in north London confirmed Southampton's fate. A first-half brace from Brennan Johnson and Mathys Tel's first Premier League goal earned all three points for Ange Postecoglou's men, while Mateus Fernandes scored for the visitors.
Ipswich Town and Derby County held the previous record for the earliest relegation in league history. They had their relegations confirmed with six matches remaining in 1994-95 and 2007-08, respectively.
