West Ham v Southampton
Southampton snatch draw at West Ham with injury-time equaliser
Southampton moved closer to avoiding the all time lowest Premier League points total with a late 1-1 draw against West Ham United on Saturday.
Lesley Ugochukwu scored an equaliser in added time for the already-relegated south-coast club, who moved to 11 points to tie the record set by Derby County in 2008.
After a goalless half where West Ham were booed off the pitch, they struck early in the second when Jarrod Bowen finished a counter-attack -- his 10th goal in all competitions as he hit double figures for a fourth straight season.
But Southampton refused to give up and, having looked the better side for much of the contest, Ugochukwu volleyed home in a chaotic finish to give the travelling fans reason to cheer in a dispiriting season.
The result leaves West Ham in 16th, a point behind Tottenham Hotspur, who host Nottingham Forest on Monday. Southampton remain bottom with 11 points.
