It would be an understatement to say that last night’s 2-1 win against Norwich City was a season-defining moment, but it surely seems that way.

The Saints clinched three points from their relegation rivals a few days after claiming another big win against Watford, who still remain at the foot of the Premier League table, two victories that have seen Southampton climb out of the relegation zone after over a month in the bottom three as graphs from Transfermarkt show.
Will Southampton claim Premier League survival?
Yes
No
Seven points out of a possible nine have seen Southampton turn their season around entirely, with the Saints now comfortably out of the relegation zone and now in the right mindset to build on their past two wins for their upcoming festive fixtures, and plenty of supporters on social media were buzzing to see their season potentially turn around.
Here’s what Southampton fans had to say following the full-time whistle, with plenty of supporters buzzing that the Saints were able to make it back-to-back wins…

Glad that we won, but we made that needlessly harder than it should have been.
We had them on the ropes at the end of the first half, but we decided against trying to attack them in the second. At the end, we were trying to defend a lead instead of extending it.

Really important 3 points again. Brilliant first half, like a different team on the pitch what we’ve seen before. For the second half we sit back a bit (should’ve been keep up the pressure and the defence line up), really hot last 15 mins Well done guys! #SaintsFC
