Southampton fans began to empty St Mary's Stadium after just 25 minutes into their game against Tottenham.
The hosts trailed 5-0 in the first-half, with a brace from James Maddison and goals from Heung Min-Son, Dejan Kulusevski and Pape Sarr contributing to the goal-fest.
Going into the match, Spurs had not won in five outings, with the pressure mounting on Ange Postecoglou.
Sunday evening's game saw the North London side score five first-half goals for the first time in Premier League history.
Meanwhile, Southampton have collected just five points this season, winning only one game as we move closer to the half-way point of the campaign.
If the Saints do not tally any points before matchweek 18, they would mathematically be on track to eclipse Derby's record of achieving the least points in a Premier League season.
But Russell Martin's side, having taken only five from 16 matches so far, need a serious reboot to avoid being dragged into the conversation.
The Rams have the lowest points tally of the 646 teams to have completed top-flight seasons since 1992 - they collected a measly 11 points in 2007-08.
