ToggleThe Saints managed to grab a hard-fought 0-0 draw against Manchester City at St. Mary's, a result that provided a morale boost for the relegated side. City's strikers, including Erling Haaland, failed to break the deadlock and missed an opportunity to catch up with second-placed Arsenal.

Dias made headlines after the final whistle, but not for his performance on the pitch. The Portuguese international, visibly frustrated with the outcome, voiced his discontent during his post-match interview with directing his anger squarely at Southampton's tactical setup and time-wasting tactics.
He said: "It's frustrating to play against a team like them. They don’t even try to play, just wasting time the whole game. I don’t even feel like they want to play the game or win the game. They are just sitting around. We tried every way. We had chances, but we didn’t score. It is what it is."
Southampton wasted no time in turning Dias' words into a humorous jab of their own. In a cheeky post on their official social media account, the club wrote: "A point without even trying to play."
The point earned on home turf ensured Southampton would avoid matching Derby County’s notorious 11-point season tally from 2007-08, meaning the Saints will not go down as the worst team in the league's illustrious history.
