a 5—0 defeat to tottenham hotspur proved to be the end of russell martin as manager of southampton. saints were heavily beaten by spurs, and a couple of hours after the game the club issued a statement saying they'd taken the difficult decision to part ways with martin afterjust one win in16 games. on the pitch, tottenham scored four of their five goals in the first 25 minutes. james maddison with both the first and last goals for spurs. i thought we got on top of them and locked them in, and then our footballing transition and running without the ball was outstanding tonight. look, it was outstanding against chelsea but the game got away for us for a number of reasons, so this is not a one—off, it has been a constant in our good performance. the players should get a reward for it. chelsea continue to enhance their title credentials, closing to within two points of liverpool at the top with a 2—1 win over brentford. marc cucurella and nicolas jackson with the goals for enzo maresca's side, who had cucurella sent off after the final whistle for his part in that post—match scuffle. in

liverpool will also be their opponents in the two—legged semi—final, though the sides meet at the tottenham hotspursunday first. in his pre—match press conference, postecoglou's opposite number arne slot was full of praise about the australian's managment style. iam i am completely a fan of his team for the europa league. people talk about trophies, trophies, that is so important now full stop for me, his brand of football, his style of football is so much more important. you could combine it with winning they could be so good blue, forfootball in general, people goods but talking about this. how could you play attacking football? southampton are expected to appoint ivanjuric as their new manager on an 18—month deal. it follows the sacking of russell martin with the club currently bottom of the premier league and nine points from safety. juric was sacked by roma last month after 12 games, and was on the shortlist to replace ralph hasenhuttl as southampton boss two years ago. he's 49 and had an impresssive three—year spell in charge of torino. he's unlikely to be in post for this weekend 5 match aga
