Martin delighted as Southampton break 103-year-old record

Southampton have broken a 100 year-plus record in the Championship.

The 3-1 win at Swansea City broke a 103 year-old record for Saints.

They have now extended their unbeaten run to 21 games with victory at manager Russell Martin's old club Swansea, lifting them to second place in the Championship, above Ipswich on goal difference.

"It is a nice moment," Martin said after his side completed Southampton's best unbeaten run in all competitions since joining the Football League in 1920, eclipsing the 20 games undefeated achieved the following year.

“I'm really grateful to the players for what they've done, the courage they've shown. I'm immensely proud."
