MAT FINISH IS HEARTBREAK FOR SAINTS

|April 03, 2025
MATHEUS FRANCA climbed off the bench to rescue FA Cup semi-finalists Crystal Palace from a shock defeat - and deny Southampton the win to surpass Derby's record low Premier League points tally.
Franca scored his first Eagles goal in stoppage time to cancel out Paul Onuachu's first-half strike and rob luckless Saints of a surprise victory.
Onuachu's header had looked set to be enough to take the almost relegated Saints above Derby's pitiful total of of 11 points from 2008.
The hosts survived a second-minute scare as Jean-Philippe Mateta raced clear of Jan Bednarek, before seeing his shot slam back off the underside of the bar, narrowly avoiding keeper Aaron Ramsdale on the way back out.
