Southampton pulled off a stunning defensive performance

Southampton pulled off a stunning defensive performance to hold Manchester City to a goalless draw at St Mary's, earning just their 12th point of the Premier League 2024/25 season—matching the infamous record of Derby County's 2007/08 campaign.

Despite facing one of the most dominant sides in European football, the bottom-placed Saints stood firm, frustrating Erling Haaland and a full-strength City attack in a result that sent shockwaves through the title and Champions League qualification race.

Manchester City, who welcomed Haaland back into the starting XI, were left stunned by the stalemate. With the race for a top-five finish tighter than ever, every dropped point could prove decisive. This draw may come back to haunt Pep Guardiola's side in their push for continental football next season.

For Southampton, the point is symbolic. While still set for relegation, they have officially avoided becoming the worst team in Premier League history—avoiding outright ownership of the lowest-ever points tally.
