Southampton's relegation from the Premier League was confirmed after a 3-1 defeat to Tottenham, marking a historic low with seven games left in the season. The club, which has faced recent struggles, is now relegated for a second consecutive season, making it the first team to achieve this with such a significant number of matches remaining. Despite their struggle, the players received applause and unwavering support from fans, which captain Jack Stephens acknowledged, highlighting their disappointment in the team's performance and their high expectations previously set for the season.
"We know how frustrated they will be. We know how disappointed and upset they'll be, like we are, but for them to be so loud, so supportive. That doesn't go unnoticed in the dressing room, and I'll be forever grateful for that response from them."
"It's really tough for us to take. We're fully aware that we've been nowhere near good enough this season, and we're really disappointed in the dressing room that we weren't able to do ourselves justice this season."
