The 2018–19 Southampton F.C. season was the club's 20th season in the Premier League and their 42nd in the top division of English football.[1] In addition to the Premier League, the club also competed in the FA Cup and the EFL Cup. Southampton finished the season 16th in the Premier League table with 9 wins, 12 draws and 17 losses.[2] The club were knocked out of the third round of the FA Cup by Championship side Derby County,[3] and were knocked out of the EFL Cup in the fourth round by fellow Premier League team Leicester City.[4] The 2018–19 season was Southampton's last with manager Mark Hughes, who departed on 3 December 2018 with the club in the relegation zone with only one win from fourteen games.[5] Former RB Leipzig manager Ralph Hasenhüttl was appointed as his replacement the next day, after Kelvin Davis took charge of the team's next game.[6]
Following the end of the 2017–18 season, Southampton released a number of players, including first-team defenders Florin Gardoș and Jérémy Pied.[7] The club also sold Serbian midfielder Dušan Tadić to Dutch club Ajax for £10 million.[8] Several players were also brought in during the summer – Scottish midfielder Stuart Armstrong from Premiership champions Celtic for £7 million,[9] Norwegian winger Mohamed Elyounoussi from Swiss side Basel for £16 million,[10] goalkeeper Angus Gunn from Premier League champions Manchester City for £13.5 million,[11] and Danish centre-back Jannik Vestergaard from German club Borussia Mönchengladbach.[12] In August, Liverpool striker Danny Ings joined on an initial loan, with a permanent move planned for the following summer.[13] A number of players were loaned out, including striker Guido Carrillo,[14] playmaker Sofiane Boufal,[15] and midfielder Jordy Clasie.[16]
In the January transfer window, the club sold out-of-favour striker Manolo Gabbiadini to Italian side Sampdoria for an undisclosed fee.[17] Midfielder Steven Davis also returned to his former club Rangers on loan until the end of the season,[18] while Wesley Hoedt and Cédric Soares moved to Celta Vigo and Inter Milan on loan until the end of the season respectively.[19][20]
Pre-season
[edit]Southampton begun their 2018–19 pre-season preparations with a short tour of China, including matches against German club Schalke 04 and local side Jiangsu Suning. The first game ended in a 3–3 draw, with Nathan Redmond, Harrison Reed and Jake Hesketh scoring for the Saints.[21] In the second, the Premier League side edged a 3–2 victory, thanks to goals from Manolo Gabbiadini, Redmond and Sam Gallagher.[22] Returning to England, the club faced Championship side Derby County at Pride Park on 21 July.[23] The lower league hosts subjected the Premier League visitors to their first pre-season defeat with a 3–0 win, goals coming from Tom Lawrence (two) and Mason Bennett.[23] A week later, Southampton beat French side Dijon FCO 2–0, with Shane Long and Gabbiadini securing the win.[24]
The club's final two pre-season games took place at St Mary's Stadium. The first, against Spanish club Celta Vigo, ended 3–2 after a late winner from new signing Mohamed Elyounoussi completed a second-half comeback.[25] Celta Vigo took a 2–0 lead in the first 45 minutes, with goals from Pione Sisto and Iago Aspas giving the hosts a disadvantage to overcome.[25] Shortly after the break, Charlie Austin and Stuart Armstrong struck in a five-minute period to bring the game level, before Elyounoussi's finish gave the Saints the win.[25] The second match took place three days later against German side Borussia Mönchengladbach. The visitors won the game comfortably, with two goals from Patrick Herrmann and a third from Denis Zakaria (both brought on as substitutes) giving them a 3–0 victory.[26]

Premier League

Southampton picked up just one point from their first three games of the 2018–19 Premier League campaign, holding Burnley to a goalless draw in their opening fixture.[27] The club lost their following two games 2–1. In the first, against Everton, the Saints were down by two goals within 31 minutes following goals from Theo Walcott and Richarlison.[28] New signing Danny Ings scored his first goal for the club after the break, but the hosts held on for the three points, with Walcott almost doubling his tally late on.[28] The second, against Leicester City, saw few chances for either side in the first 45 minutes.[29] Ryan Bertrand opened the scoring shortly after the break, but his side's lead was cancelled out by Demarai Gray within a few minutes.[29] After Pierre-Emile Højbjerg was sent off, the visitors secured the win in injury time through Harry Maguire.[29] The Saints picked up their first win of the season the following week, beating Crystal Palace 2–0 thanks to second-half goals from Ings and Højbjerg.[30]
Two weeks later, a second consecutive win of the season at home to Brighton & Hove Albion was denied by a penalty in injury time at the end of the game.[31] Højbjerg opened the scoring before half-time with a strike from long range, with Ings adding a second after the break from a penalty awarded for a foul on the striker.[31] Shane Duffy brought the Seagulls back into the game, with Glenn Murray converting an injury time penalty to secure a point for the visitors.[31] The draw with Brighton was followed by three consecutive losses. First, the Saints were beaten 3–0 by a Liverpool side at the top of the league table, with goals from centre-back Joël Matip and striker Mohamed Salah following a tenth-minute own goal by Wesley Hoedt.[32] Next was a 2–0 loss at recently promoted Wolverhampton Wanderers, with goals scored by Ivan Cavaleiro (his first touch in the Premier League) and Jonny Castro Otto within the last 11 minutes of the game.[33] The run left Southampton 16th in the Premier League table.[33]
October–December 2018
[edit]October started off with another 3–0 loss, at home to title challengers Chelsea.[34] Winger Eden Hazard opened the scoring after half an hour, with Ross Barkley and Álvaro Morata contributing in the second half to the convincing win which left Southampton just two points above the relegation zone and Chelsea second in the table.[34] Southampton's poor form continued, although they remained clear of the drop zone, with a point each from two goalless draws later in October. The first at Bournemouth, featured few chances for either side;[35] the second, at home to Newcastle United, saw the Saints dominate proceedings with 22 shots compared to the Magpies' six.[36] The following week, the Saints suffered their worst defeat in Premier League history, when they lost 6–1 to league champions and leaders Manchester City.[37] Another Hoedt own goal put the visitors down within six minutes, and by the 20th the hosts were three ahead after Sergio Agüero and David Silva added to the scoreline.[37] Ings pulled one back with a first-half penalty, but two goals from Raheem Sterling and one from Leroy Sané ensured a convincing win for the league leaders.[37]
Southampton continued their winless run in the next two games, drawing 1–1 with Watford and losing 3–2 to recently promoted Fulham.[38][39] In the former, the Saints led through Manolo Gabbiadini's first-half strike, but were denied a two-goal cushion when a goal scored by Charlie Austin was "incorrectly" denied due to offside.[38] José Holebas equalised in the last ten minutes to secure a point for the visitors.[38] Against Fulham, a first goal for Stuart Armstrong put his side ahead, but one from Aleksandar Mitrović and one from André Schürrle before the break put the hosts up at half-time.[39] Armstrong scored a second time to equalise for the Saints, but Mitrović responded in kind to secure the win.[39] In their first game of December, Southampton hosted Manchester United and shared the points in a 2–2 draw.[40] The Saints took an unlikely lead within 20 minutes, as Armstrong and Cédric Soares put the hosts two up against the struggling visitors.[40] United responded before half-time, however, with Romelu Lukaku and Ander Herrera levelling the game going into the break.[40] A second half of few chances left both sides picking up a point for the game, and Southampton without a win in three months.[40]

On 3 December 2018, Mark Hughes was sacked as the manager of Southampton.[5] Assistant first-team coach Kelvin Davis took charge of the team at Wembley Stadium against Tottenham Hotspur two days later, which ended 3–1 to the hosts.[41] Despite Harry Kane opening the scoring within the first ten minutes, it took until the second half for Spurs to score again, which they did through Lucas Moura and Son Heung-min within ten minutes of the restart to go three up.[41] Austin scored a consolation goal for the Saints in injury time, but the loss left them in the relegation zone.[41] Former Leipzig boss Ralph Hasenhüttl was named as Southampton's new manager before the Tottenham game, with his first match in charge to be the fixture against Cardiff City on 8 December.[6] Hasenhüttl's first game at the club ended in a loss, with Callum Paterson scoring the only goal of the match late on to send the Saints down to 19th in the league table, three points away from safety.[42]
In Hasenhüttl's first home game, Southampton beat Arsenal 3–2.[43] Danny Ings headed in a cross from Matt Targett within 20 minutes, although Henrikh Mkhitaryan responded with an equalising header just eight minutes later.[43] Before half-time, Ings scored a second to put the hosts back in front, although less than ten minutes after the break Mkhitaryan responded in kind to level it for the visitors again.[43] Shane Long saw a late goal disallowed, but later set up Charlie Austin to score the winner in the 85th minute; Southampton's first win since September saw them move out of the relegation zone for the first time in three weeks.[43] The following week, the Saints beat fellow strugglers Huddersfield Town 3–1 away to pick up a second consecutive league win for the first time since April 2017.[44] Nathan Redmond opened the scoring with his first goal of the season after 15 minutes, and Ings doubled the lead just before half-time with a penalty after being brought down in the box.[44] Within 15 minutes of the restart, a long-range effort from Philip Billing brought the hosts back into the game, however a first goal for young striker Michael Obafemi just five minutes after coming on gave Southampton back their two-goal lead.[44]
On 27 December, the club lost 2–1 at home to West Ham United.[45] After a first half of few chances, Nathan Redmond scored for the second game running just after the break to put the hosts ahead.[45] However, within ten minutes the Hammers had responded twice through Felipe Anderson, ending Southampton's short winning run.[45] In their final game of 2018, Southampton hosted Premier League champions Manchester City, losing 3–1.[46] David Silva opened the scoring after ten minutes, but Pierre-Emile Højbjerg responded 25 minutes later to equalise for the hosts.[46] On the stroke of half-time, however, a shot from Raheem Sterling was deflected into his own goal by James Ward-Prowse, and in injury time a back-post header from Sergio Agüero made it 3–1.[46] Southampton were unable to mount a comeback in the second half, and Højbjerg was shown a straight red card five minutes from full-time for a tackle on Fernandinho.[46] The loss left the Saints out of the relegation zone on goal difference only.[46]
January–March 2019
[edit]In their first fixture of 2019, Southampton were held to a goalless draw by Chelsea.[47] The hosts dominated possession throughout the game, but despite 17 shots were unable to find a way through the defence.[47] In the best chances of the game, Eden Hazard saw his shot saved by Angus Gunn, while Álvaro Morata's second-half goal was disallowed for offside.[47] Two weeks later, the Saints picked up a 2–1 win over Leicester City.[48] The visitors opened the scoring early through a James Ward-Prowse penalty, after Nampalys Mendy fouled Shane Long in the box.[48] On the stroke of half-time, however, Yan Valery was sent off for a second yellow card after a foul on Marc Albrighton.[48] Long doubled Southampton's lead in injury time before the break, before Wilfred Ndidi scored a consolation goal for the hosts in the second half.[48]

EFL Cup
[edit]Southampton entered the 2018–19 EFL Cup in the second round, beating fellow Premier League side Brighton & Hove Albion by a single late goal on 28 August.[50] The game was closely fought, with Angus Gunn twice denying Viktor Gyökeres for the hosts.[50] Substitute Charlie Austin had a shot blocked on the line by Bernardo late on, but scored in the 88th minute to secure the first win of the season for the visitors.[50] In the third round, the Saints travelled again to face Everton, to whom they had lost in the league a few weeks prior.[51] Another win looked to be likely for the South Coast club, after a lead secured by Danny Ings before the break remained for most of the second half, however a late response from Theo Walcott sent the game to penalties.[51] Southampton won the penalty shootout 4–3, with Cédric Soares converting the decisive spot kick after Walcott saw his effort saved by Gunn (Richarlison also missed his penalty, while Matt Targett missed for the Saints).[51]
In the fourth round, Southampton travelled again to face Leicester City, another side who had already beaten them in the league.[4] Initially due to take place on 30 October, the fixture was postponed following the death of Leicester's chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha.[4] The visitors enjoyed the majority of chances, most of which came in the second half, with Nathan Redmond and Manolo Gabbiadini both coming close to breaking the goalless deadlock, and Steven Davis seeing a goal disallowed by the video assistant referee due to a handball by Redmond.[4] The game went to penalties, with both sides scoring all five of their initial spot kicks.[4] Gabbiadini failed to score his sudden death penalty, allowing Nampalys Mendy to secure the win for the Foxes.[4]
