Southampton to sack Russell Martin after Bournemouth loss – fans react
Southampton fans have urged the club to sack Russell Martin after their 3-1 loss against Bournemouth on Monday night (30 September).
First-half goals from Evanilson, Dango Ouattara, and Antoine Semenyo put the game to bed before the break, with Taylor Harwood-Bellis’ second-half goal being nothing more than a consolation for the Saints.
It was Southampton’s fifth defeat of the season as their winless start to the campaign continued.
Having conceded 12 goals and only scored three, the Saints sit 19th in the table as pressure begins to mount on Martin.
