Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou speaking to Sky Sports: “The first half was really good, really pleased. We were a bit sloppy with the ball in the second half. Stuff to improve on but it is a victory with three goals so positive. We looked threatening every time we went forward in the first half.
On Brennan Johnson: “You want as many players in good form. Brennan is always a threat whenever he plays. He was really good today, he is always a goal threat.”
On having a goal disallowed for offside: “Once again we are waiting around for six or seven minutes at a football game which would have been unheard of a few years ago.”
🗣️ “We were still fighting to hang on as long as possible”

Fans reacted as defeat to Tottenham sees Southampton suffer the earliest relegation in Premier League history…
@JMeasures96: Absolute car crash of a season, club needs a hard reset and players who don’t want to be here next season need to go. #SaintsFC
@SeanGL_SFC_5: The confirmation of what has been common knowledge since November, #SaintsFC are down. The quickest a PL team has ever been relegated. I knew this season would be a struggle but not to this extent. A lot of factors to blame. A fucking pathetic showing from everyone involved.
@saintadam1981: How anyone can clap is beyond belief. Fair enough if they have given their all but they’ve done nowhere near that. Deserve nothing but people standing there doing nothing but staring blankly at them #saintsfc
@marlow1992: Numb. Players don’t even care so why should anybody else. Huge clear out of managerial staff and players needed in the summer and rebuild from the ground up. Spors has a huge job on his hands. Sport Republic disasterclass number 2 inside 3 years #SaintsFC
@bensfc4: Wow, the most diabolical season as a Southampton support is finally over, honestly this has been very damaging and I feel no connection at all with the club at the moment, club has a lot of work to do and imo there is a serious chance that we could do a Luton… #SaintsFC
@callum3081: Finally… 👍 A rotten season from start to finish… serious questions need answering over the summer. Poor recruitment (again), abysmal ownership and a group of players who really are utter garbage! 👍 Hello again @SkyBetChamp 👋😍 WE WILL BE BACK! ❤️ #SaintsFC
@SargetheSaint: It doesn’t matter that it was now or 10 games ago. We need this more than ever. The club needs a reset. 2 relegations in 3 seasons from the PL isn’t what Southampton Football Club are about. New Owners. New Manager. New Season. Same amazing dedicated #SaintsFC fans as always.
@Chi_Saintsfan: Can hardly be bothered by relegation today as it’s been known for months it would happen which is really sad as it will have huge impact on the club itself and also the people who work for the club. SR should be ashamed and Spores has a huge job to get the team to look competent
@Hackneyboy60: Sports Republic thought they could buy success and survival in the PL. How wrong they were. They failed to invest in a 1st class striker or two and the outcome was inevitable. The Academy was always our safety net over the seasons as players came through the system. #SaintsFC
@JamesCarr02: Absolutely embarrassing and part of the reason we are where we are! What did they do to deserve a clap?! What have they ever done?! We accept failure and as a result we constantly fail. None of them bar Fernandes deserve our respect. The worst players to ever play for #saintsfc
@Oscar8Perry: Why are you clapping? Literally the worst premier league team of all time, no fight at all #saintsfc
@SaintRobinho86: Start the rebuild NOW. Tell the players who don’t want to be here that they will no longer play any further part this season. Bring in some of the under 21s to give them first team experience. Sack Juric & his staff and start the search for a new manager #SaintsFC
Absolutely baffling to why fans would applaud this at FT #SaintsFC pic.twitter.com/XKCB9YSdMn
