00:00 Southampton hosted Fulham at St Mary's knowing failure to win would confirm their relegation to the championship.
00:06 But despite the stakes at play, the Cottagers looked more likely to open the scoring.
00:10 After a cagey first half, Carlos Alcarez thought he'd found the breakthrough.
00:22 Alcarez trying to stay onside, in on goal here, and sticks it away.
00:27 Now the offside flag goes up.
00:30 It did look close.
00:32 And less than a minute after being denied by the linesman's flag, Southampton were hit with the sucker punch.
00:38 All sorts of space here for Wilson, it's a lovely ball that has found him.
00:41 Just a bit too much on it for Harrison Reid, but Carlos Vinicius is there!
00:46 And Fulham in front.
00:50 With the goal that might just help Southampton on their way to the championship.
00:55 Returning from suspension, Aleksandar Mitrovic was introduced off the bench, and the Serbian didn't take long to make his mark.
01:01 Fighting it in dangerously, Mitrovic on the end of it.
01:05 Off the bench to have an almost instant impact on his return.
01:12 Doubles the Fulham lead.
01:17 And with the Saints attack misfiring, the contest meandered to the inevitable conclusion.
01:23 Southampton relegated after 11 straight seasons in the Premier League.
01:27 Their fate is sealed.
