Southampton's 2-3 defeat to Wolves has left the Saints in a precarious position in the Premier League table, with their relegation hopes hanging by a thread.
The match at St Mary's was a tough one for the visitors, who had already secured their place in the Europa League. However, they were unable to find the breakthrough and ultimately succumbed to a narrow defeat.
The loss means that Southampton now sit just two points clear of the drop zone, with only four games remaining in the season. The Saints will need to win all of those matches if they are to avoid the dreaded Championship play-offs.
Manager Ralph Hasenhuttl is under immense pressure after this latest setback, and he will have to put together a strong performance against Aston Villa on Saturday to keep his job. If he fails to do so, it could be curtains for him and the club.
For Wolves, this result is another blow to their promotion aspirations. They are currently sitting in second place in the league table, but they will need to continue their impressive form over the final few weeks of the season to ensure that they can secure automatic promotion.
Overall, this defeat will likely have a significant impact on both teams' futures. It is unlikely that either team will finish in the top six, which would leave them with a tough task come the summer transfer window. Both managers will need to work hard to ensure that their sides can still compete for European football next season.
