Fear not, Derby County fans, hope remains. As this game headed into injury time, it looked as though the indignity they have carried for 17 years and counting would remain, with Southampton eyeing a rare win to take them past Derby’s all-time Premier League low of 11 points.
But no team undo hard work like Southampton, and Matheus França’s late equalising header for Palace ensured Ivan Juric’s side remains bottom of the league, one point shy of Derby’s tally. The wait to consign such petty, but not insignificant matters, goes on.
