Southampton's miserable season hit a new low with an embarrassing FA Cup fourth-round exit against Burnley on Saturday.
Bottom of the Premier League and seemingly destined for relegation, Southampton got no respite as the second-tier side won 1-0 at St Mary's.
Scott Parker's team went in front after 77 minutes when Marcus Edwards scored from close-range on his debut after signing on loan from Sporting Lisbon.
Edwards, 26, was once compared to Lionel Messi before being released by Tottenham and rebuilding his career in Lisbon.
It is almost 600 minutes since Championship promotion chasers Burnley last conceded a goal, with 10 clean-sheets in their last 11 games.
