SOUTHAMPTON, England (AP) — Southampton fired manager Russell Martin late Sunday after the Premier League’s last-placed team was thrashed 5-0 by Tottenham.

Southampton has only won once in the league this season and is nine points adrift of safety.

“We can confirm that we have taken the difficult decision to part ways with our Men’s First Team Manager, Russell Martin,” the club said in a statement.
