Southampton aim dig at Derby County as they pass Rams' Premier League all-time worst points total - but social media post raises fans' eyebrows

Southampton aimed a dig at Derby County on social media after passing the Rams' worst Premier League points total.

The Saints had been tipped by many to come out worse than Derby did in the 2007-8 season, when they were relegated from the top flight with just 11 points accumulated in 38 games.

Simon Rusk's men had been on 11 points since drawing with West Ham in mid-April, with fans keeping on eye on the goal difference - Southampton are on minus 57, while Derby finished on minus 69.
