Southampton extended their unbeaten run to 21 matches with a comfortable win against Rotherham. The victory puts them back in the automatic promotion places in the Championship. Rotherham, on the other hand, have now won just once in their past 18 games.
Southampton moved back into the Championship 's automatic promotion places with a comfortable win at bottom club Rotherham . The Saints extended their club record unbeaten run to 21 matches after goals from Jan Bednarek and Adam Armstrong had them cruising by half-time. The Saints eased off in the second half, and handed a debut to on-loan Bournemouth man David Brooks, but the win was accentuated by promotion rivals.
Their 16th loss of the season means Rotherham, facing Southampton in the league for the first time since the 1965-66 campaign, have now won just once in their past 18 games and are 12 points adrift of 21st-placed Huddersfield. Saints' victory at Swansea a fortnight ago had set the new unbeaten record but they were in no mood to let up, especially with Ipswich now showing vulnerability having held a top-two place since September. Southampton had lost four in a row at that point, but have now not tasted defeat since 23 September, and they were never in danger at New York Stadiu

The limit on pay-outs to bankers was junked as part of Liz Truss’s You can see why Labour has decided to keep things as they are in this regard. The party is desperately keen to be seen as supportive of business and financial services, and they do not want to shake up or alienate those sectors in an election year, at an extremely difficult economic juncture. They have large commitments, particularly in the New Deal for Working People, that are hard sells to the private sector, that they need to balance out, and the bankers’ bonus cap does not ultimately impact that many people, nor does it do anything for the Treasury’s coffers

The Reds finished 2023 top of the league courtesy of a 2-0 win over Burnley, but on Christmas day, the story was very different. Manchester United were instead league leaders on the 25th, after a 1-1 draw with Jurgen Klopp’s side, but back-to-back defeats against West Ham and Fulham dropped them to fourth, and left huge doubts over their title chances.
