Highlights of Southampton's win over Fulham in the Premier League

The 2-0 defeat on the south coast left the club ten points from safety in the Premier League table, with ten matches to play.

A banner containing the words 'Risk free? Are you watching Tony Khan?' was unfurled in reference to comments made by the club's vice-chairman following Ranieri's appointment.

Ranieri arrived at Craven Cottage to replace Slavisa Jokanovic in November but has managed just three wins in 17 matches since taking over.
