On 23 September 2013 the league table before the Arsenal v Southampton game showed us Tottenham and Arsenal at the top of the league equal on 12 points each.   Southampton, the visitors for the day were seventh, having conceded only two goals so not an easy walk over…

 

Team P W D L F A GD Pts
1 Arsenal 5 4 0 1 11 6 5 12
2 Tottenham Hotspur 5 4 0 1 5 1 4 12
3 Manchester City 5 3 1 1 12 4 8 10
4 Chelsea 5 3 1 1 6 2 4 10
5 Liverpool 5 3 1 1 5 3 2 10
6 Everton 5 2 3 0 6 4 2 9
7 Southampton 5 2 2 1 3 2 1 8

 

So the table showing a Southampton team that had only let two goals in, in the first five games, didn’t really prepare us for what would happen next….
