Southampton finally rid themselves of the spectre of being crowned the joint worst team in Premier League history after somehow holding Manchester City to a goalless draw.

Southampton avoid 'worst' record after City stalemate

Rock-bottom and already relegated, Saints battled to secure their 12th point of a sorry season, which edged them past Derby's record low tally of 11 from 2007-08.

This I may have been one of the most one-sided 0-0 draws in Premier League history, with City having 72 per cent possession, 26 shots to Southampton's two and 68 touches in the Saints box compared to just seven for the hosts.

De Bruyne has always enjoyed playing Saints, having registered four goals and 10 assists against them, and the Belgian had a chance to add to his tally after he was dragged back by Lesley Ugochukwu, only to curl the free-kick just over.
