Southampton squad donate wages to charity after Leicester thrashing.

After an unexpected 0-9 thrashing by Leicester City at home, Southampton players donated their wages from last Friday’s match to charity. The club revealed the players have been working at the club’s training centre throughout the weekend as they look to putting away the devastation at St Mary. “As the first step towards that, the group has decided that they wish to donate their wages from the day of the Leicester game to Saints Foundation, in order to help the vital work that is conducted by the charity,” the clubvs official statement read. “The players and staff are now directing all their energy and focus towards the two games in Manchester this week.” Southampton is faced with face back-to-back visits to Manchester City this week, first in the Carabao Cup last-16 on Tuesday, and subsequently in the Premier League on Saturday. The Saints boss Ralph Hasenhuttl apologized to the club’s fans after Friday night’s humiliation on the south coast, while captain Nathan Redmond admitted it was “the stuff of nightmares”.
“It was an embarrassing performance. It just wasn’t good enough and one of the poorest performances since I’ve been at the club.” “We’ll have to debrief that whole game from start to finish tomorrow. There were a host of things that went wrong – the red card decision and then the quick goal at the same time. We need to do much, much better.”
Said the Captain.
