Review
Abandoned shortly into the second half due to fog when we were losing 0-1. And, interestingly enough, we won the rescheduled game 2-1, and were promoted at the end of the season by a single point. In other words, the 2 points that we gained from having a losing scoreline abandoned. And all that was after Southampton had scored in just 26 seconds!
