Relegated Southampton rescued a 1-1 draw at West Ham United on Saturday to guarantee they won't have the indignity of being the lone club with the Premier League's worst ever points tally.
Jarrod Bowen struck for the Hammers in the 47th minute, holding off Ryan Manning before lashing a fierce finish past Aaron Ramsdale.
But Lesley Ugochukwu equalised three minutes into second half stoppage-time as he lashed past Alphonse Areola.
Bottom of the table Southampton are now on 11 points -- the same number Derby managed in 2007-08 -- and have five games left to leave the Rams with the lowest total ever recorded in the Premier League.
