West Ham were booed off as pressure started to build on Graham Potter following a dispiriting draw against no-hopers Southampton.
The relegated side were still on course to be crowned the worst team in Premier League history after Jarrod Bowen fired the hosts into the lead. But Lesley Ugochukwu’s added-time strike ensured Southampton equalled Derby’s record-low Premier League points total with 11.
West Ham have picked up an average of one point a game since Potter took over, which is a worse record than under much-maligned predecessor Julen Lopetegui.
Despite still not being mathematically safe from relegation – albeit with virtually no chance of it actually happening – the hosts plodded through the first half with a bewildering lack of urgency.
