Tottenham 3-1 Southampton: Brennan Johnson brace seals much-needed win for the hosts - as Saints are RELEGATED after north London defeat

To the relief of Tottenham, Daniel Levy and Ange Postecoglou, all the fresh ignominy was claimed by Southampton whose relegation is confirmed with seven games remaining.

It is a new worst in the Premier League era. And now out of their misery, the Saints can focus on restoring some dignity by earning a couple of points to take them past Derby’s all-time points low.

Brennan Johnson sent them down with two goals in the first half before the contest gave way to a surreal sort of training exercise with Spurs dominating the ball without risking too much and conserving energy before the Europa League quarter final against Eintracht Frankfurt.
