The 2020-21 campaign for Southampton was a true tale of two halves, beginning with a historic high as The Saints briefly topped the Premier League table for the first time ever. Leading the attack was their talismanic forward Danny Ings, whose crucial 12 league goals anchored a side playing an intense, high-pressing style under manager Ralph Hasenhüttl. Though the season ended in a disappointing 15th-place finish after a dramatic post-Christmas slump and a crushing 9-0 loss to Manchester United, the memorable FA Cup run to the semi-finals provided a moment of pride for the faithful.
