Exactly three years ago, on February 2, 2021, Manchester United convincingly defeated Southampton with a score of 9-0, but the memory of this match is particularly undesirable for Southampton's defender Jan Bednarek.

The Polish player scored an own goal in the 34th minute and received a red card in the 86th minute, leaving his team with nine players. In the official Fantasy Premier League, Bednarek earned -7 points for the match.

In this fantasy league, there is an option called the "triple captain," where points earned for the game are tripled. Bednarek, with -21 points for the match against Manchester United, still holds the Premier League record for the lowest fantasy points earned in a single game.

After this match, a total of 14,660 players decided against selecting Bednarek for their team.

At the end of that season, Southampton finished 15th in the Premier League. However, in the following season, the "Saints" ended the season at the bottom of the table and were relegated to the Championship.
