2018–19 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season
The 2018–19 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season was the costliest and the most active season ever recorded since reliable records began in 1967. Additionally, it is also the deadliest cyclone season recorded in the South-West Indian Ocean, surpassing the 1891–92 season in which the 1892 Mauritius cyclone devastated the island of Mauritius. The season was an event of the annual cycle of tropical cyclone and subtropical cyclone formation in the South-West Indian Ocean basin.


2018–19 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season
It officially began on 15 November 2018, and ended on 30 April 2019, with the exception for Mauritius and the Seychelles, which it ended on 15 May 2019. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical and subtropical cyclones form in the basin, which is west of 90°E and south of the Equator. Tropical and subtropical cyclones in this basin are monitored by the Regional Specialised Meteorological Centre in Réunion.


2018–19 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season
Two tropical cyclones existed outside the conventional bounds of the season, with Moderate Tropical Storm 01 in September and the remnants of Tropical Cyclone Lorna in May. From all of these cyclones during the season, all but Haleh and Savannah produced impacts on land, with Idai causing at least 1,303 deaths and leaving at least 2,262 people missing, and causing US$2.2 billion in damages in Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Malawi, and Madagascar. The season set a new record of nine intense tropical cyclones, the largest number since the start of reliable satellite coverage in 1967, surpassing the 2006–07 season.


2018–19 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Seasonal summary
The first tropical cyclone was an unnamed moderate tropical storm that formed northeast of Madagascar on 13 September 2018, two months before the official start of the season. Two cyclones formed in the month of November, with Intense Tropical Cyclone Alcide forming on 5 November, and Severe Tropical Storm Bouchra entering the basin from the Australian region on 9 November. Two tropical cyclones formed in the month of December, Cilida and Kenanga. Intense Tropical Cyclone Kenanga crossed into the basin from the Australian region, retaining its name assigned by TCWC Jakarta.


2018–19 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Seasonal summary
Two moderate tropical storms formed in January, Desmond and Eketsang. Five more intense tropical cyclones formed during February and March: Funani, Gelena, Haleh, Idai, and Joaninha. In addition, Savannah crossed into the basin from the Australian basin as an intense tropical cyclone in March. On 21 April 2019, final two storms of the season formed at the same time, Kenneth and Lorna.


2018–19 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Moderate Tropical Storm 01
On 11 September, a disturbance formed in the open waters of Indian Ocean. On the next day, the system intensified to a tropical depression formed to the southwest of Diego Garcia. The system tracked west-southwestward, organizing slowly over marginally warm waters of 26–27 degrees Celsius and moderate wind shear. On 16 September, the tropical depression began to quickly weaken after encountering unfavorable conditions. On the next day, both the MFR and the JTWC issued their final warnings, and the system was downgraded to an extratropical low. The remains of the system dissipated a few hours later north of Madagascar. In post-storm analysis, the system was upgraded into a moderate tropical storm, although it remained unnamed.


2018–19 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Intense Tropical Cyclone Alcide
On 6 November, a tropical depression formed well to the east-northeast of Madagascar. The system continued to track generally west-southwestward into more favorable conditions for the next few hours, before strengthening into a Moderate Tropical Storm and was named Alcide later that day. On 7 November at 06:00 UTC, Alcide strengthened into a tropical cyclone, or a Category 1-equivalent tropical cyclone on the Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale (SSHWS)


2018–19 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Intense Tropical Cyclone Alcide
On 8 November at 06:00 UTC, Alcide strengthened into an intense tropical cyclone, or a Category 3-equivalent tropical cyclone on the SSHWS, with maximum 10-minute sustained winds of 90 knots (165 km/h; 105 mph) and a minimum central pressure of 965 hPa(mbar). It was downgraded to a tropical cyclone 6 hours later, mostly due to cooler sea temperatures and generally less favorable conditions. Alcide continued to weaken as it began an anticyclonic loop east of the northern tip of Madagascar, falling to tropical storm status at 12:00 UTC on 9 November. The system rapidly deteriorated thereafter, falling to tropical depression status at 00:00 UTC on 11 November; Météo-France discontinued advisories at noon that day. The system continued east as a remnant low until 13 November, when the remaining convection vanished due to wind shear.


2018–19 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Storm Bouchra
A weak low-pressure system developed in the equatorial Indian Ocean in Météo-France's area of responsibility on November 1 and moved slowly eastwards over the following few days while showing little signs of intensification. Late on November 9, as the developing precursor depression to Very Severe Cyclonic Storm Gaja in the Bay of Bengal moved further away and the competing low-level airflow convergence associated with it diminished, which was earlier associated with the westerly wind burst on either side of Indian Ocean. the system's structure organised sufficiently to be classified as a tropical disturbance by Météo-France.


2018–19 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Storm Bouchra
Very shortly afterwards, the system crossed the 90th meridian east and entered the Australian region, where it was classified by TCWC Jakarta as a tropical depression on November 10 local time. Later the same day, the JTWC assessed the developing low as having attained tropical storm status on the Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale, and assigned the system the unofficial designation 04S. A few hours later, at 10:00 UTC, the system moved back westwards and returned to the South-West Indian Ocean basin, where it gained the name 'Bouchra' from Météo-France and underwent a twelve-hour phase of rapid intensification to severe tropical storm status.


2018–19 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Storm Bouchra
Over the following days, Bouchra fought increasingly unfavorable atmospheric conditions, and underwent a gradual weakening trend. During this time, the cyclone proceeded to track in a slow cyclonic loop just to the west of the border of the Australian region in weak overall steering influences, and was often quasi-stationary. After meandering here for a number of days, the system re-entered the Australian region late on November 12. By this stage, the system had weakened significantly from its peak intensity, and was only at tropical depression strength.


2018–19 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Storm Bouchra
The period of residence in the Australian basin proved to be short-lived once again, however, with Météo-France indicating that Ex-Tropical Storm Bouchra had returned to the far eastern part of their area of responsibility early on November 13. In the early hours of November 14, the Australian Bureau of Meteorology noted that the system had crossed back into the Australian region basin. However, on November 17, Bouchra crossed back over into the South-West Indian Ocean basin, as the storm began taking a southwestward trajectory.


2018–19 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Intense Tropical Cyclone Kenanga
On December 14, a tropical low formed southwest of Sumatra in the Australian region basin.


2018–19 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Intense Tropical Cyclone Kenanga
It slowly strengthened and on the next day, the system was officially named Kenanga as it tracked roughly southwestward. Continuing on this course, Kenanga entered the South-West Indian basin on December 16. On the next day, the system quickly intensified into an intense tropical cyclone, and Kenanga maintained this intensity for another day.


2018–19 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Intense Tropical Cyclone Kenanga
The storm reached peak intensity on December 17, with 10-minute sustained wind speeds of 115 miles per hour (185 km/h), and a minimum central pressure of 942 mbar (hPa). On the morning of the next day, the system encountered high wind shear and started weakening, and Kenanga was downgraded to a Moderate Tropical Storm by the evening of that day. The system was finally downgraded to an extratropical low on December 19.


2018–19 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Intense Tropical Cyclone Kenanga
On the next day, Kenanga re-intensified into tropical depression status. On December 22, Kenanga lost its remaining convection and dissipated. The system did not affect any land areas, and caused no damage or fatalities.


2018–19 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Intense Tropical Cyclone Cilida
On December 16, Météo-France tracked a low-pressure which had a chance of possible tropical cyclone development. While tracking southwest, it then intensified to tropical storm status and then cyclone status. On December 23, it passed east of Mauritius, bringing beneficial rainfall and gusting winds that knocked down tree branches. It then turned southeast and weakened, later dissipating in the far southern reaches of the basin.


2018–19 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Moderate Tropical Storm Desmond
A tropical depression formed near the east coast of Mozambique on January 17. During the next couple of days, the storm made a counterclockwise loop towards the west, before turning northward. The system intensified into a moderate tropical storm on January 19 and was named Desmond. The system gradually intensified as it drifted northward. The storm reached peak intensity on January 20, as a moderate tropical storm with 10-minute sustained winds of 65 km/h (40 mph) wind and a minimum central pressure of 995 mbar. On the next day, Desmond made landfall in Mozambique. Afterward, the storm rapidly weakened and was downgraded to a remnant low on January 22. Later that day, Desmond turned eastward back towards the coast, while continuing to weaken. A few hours later, Desmond lost all of its remaining convection and dissipated on January 22.


2018–19 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Moderate Tropical Storm Eketsang
A disturbance formed over Madagascar on January 21. On the next day, the storm emerged into the Mozambique Channel and organized into a tropical depression. On January 23, the system strengthened into a moderate tropical storm and was named Eketsang. The system tracked southwestward while strengthening, reaching its peak intensity later that day, with 10-minute sustained winds of 75 km/h(45 mph) and a minimum central pressure of 993 mbar. On the same day, the storm turned to the southeast, back towards Madagascar. On January 24, the storm curved around the south coast of Madagascar and weakened into a subtropical depression. Afterward, the storm began accelerating southeastward, before dissipating on January 26. 27 deaths were reported from the storm, and 1 person went missing, mostly due to landslides.


2018–19 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Intense Tropical Cyclone Funani
On February 2, a disturbance formed in the open Indian Ocean. The system in countered favorable conditions and began to  rapidly intensify, reaching moderate tropical storm status on February 3 and further intensified into an intense tropical cyclone the next day. The storm recurved east and degan to move southwestwards. The system accelerated as it moved into an area of low sea surface temperature on February 7. The next day, it was downgraded to moderate tropical storm two days later. The storm transitioned to an extratropical cyclone on February 10 before dissipating later that day.


2018–19 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Intense Tropical Cyclone Gelena
Gelena was the second storm to affect the island of Rodrigues in a week, following Intense Tropical Cyclone Funani. Gelena brought strong winds that destroyed 90% of the electric grid on the island. Overall damage on the island were about US$1 million.


2018–19 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Intense Tropical Cyclone Haleh
On February 28, Tropical Depression 10 formed in the south central Indian Ocean, south of the Maldives. On March 2, the system strengthened into Moderate Tropical Storm Haleh, before intensifying further into a severe tropical storm later that day. On March 3, Haleh intensified into a tropical cyclone. Finding itself in favourable conditions, Haleh continued to intensify and reached its peak intensity on March 4, as a Category 4-equivalent intense tropical cyclone, with 1-minute sustained winds of 215 km/h (135 mph). On March 5, Haleh meandered into hostile conditions with low sea surface ocean heat content and medium vertical wind shear, and the system weakened back to a Category 1 tropical cyclone. Haleh gradually weakened over the next couple of days, eventually degenerating into a post-tropical low late on March 7.


2018–19 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Intense Tropical Cyclone Idai
Tropical Depression 11 formed off the east coast of Mozambique on March 4. Afterward, the tropical depression drifted northeastward very slowly, making landfall on Mozambique later that day. On March 6, Tropical Depression 11 was given a yellow tropical cyclone development warning by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC). On March 7, the storm turned west-southwestward, while continuing to retain its tropical identity overland. On March 8, Tropical Depression 11 weakened and turned back towards the east. Early on March 9, the tropical depression emerged into the Mozambique Channel and began to organize.


2018–19 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Intense Tropical Cyclone Idai
On the same day, the JTWC stated that the system had a high probability for genesis into a tropical cyclone, and later on the same day, the system strengthened into a moderate tropical storm and received the name Idai. On March 10, Idai began to rapidly intensify, strengthening into a tropical cyclone near Madagascar, and the system made yet another turn westward, moving to the southwest. On the next day, the storm intensified into the seventh intense tropical cyclone of the season, and soon reached its peak intensity as a Category 4-equivalent tropical cyclone.


2018–19 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Intense Tropical Cyclone Idai
On March 12, Idai began to weaken, as the system underwent an eyewall replacement cycle. On March 13, Idai began accelerating westward. At 00:00 UTC on March 15, the MFR reported that Idai had made landfall near Beira, Mozambique, with 10-minute sustained winds of 165 km/h (105 mph). Idai quickly weakened after landfall, degenerating into a tropical depression later that day. Afterward, Idai slowly moved inland while dumping large amounts of rain, resulting in flash flooding. Late on March 16, Idai degenerated into a remnant low, but the storm's remnant continued dumping rain across the region. On March 17, Idai's remnant turned eastward once again, eventually re-emerging into the Mozambique Channel a second time on March 19. On March 21, Idai's remnants dissipated.


2018–19 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Intense Tropical Cyclone Idai
As a tropical depression, Idai affected Malawi and Mozambique, during its first landfall. At least 56 people died, and 577 others were injured due to flooding in Malawi. About 83,000 people were displaced. The southern districts of Chikwawa and Nsanje became isolated by floodwaters. In Mozambique, 66 people were killed by the flooding, and affected 141,000 people. The Council of Ministers required 1.1 billion metical (US$17.6 million) to help those who were affected by the flooding.


2018–19 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Intense Tropical Cyclone Idai
In total, Idai killed at least 1,297 people and left thousands more missing, becoming one of the deadliest tropical cyclones in the modern history of Africa and the Southern Hemisphere as a whole. With this death toll, Idai is the deadliest tropical cyclone recorded in the South-West Indian Ocean basin, and the second-deadliest tropical cyclone overall in the Southern Hemisphere, behind only Cyclone Flores in 1973. In addition, the total damages from the cyclone are expected to exceed US$2 billion (2019 USD), which would make Idai the costliest cyclone on record in the basin.


2018–19 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Savannah
On March 18, Severe Tropical Cyclone Savannah crossed over from the Australian region basin into the South-West Indian basin, shortly after reaching its peak intensity. Savannah was classified as an tropical cyclone on the South-West Indian Ocean scale after it entered the basin. Savannah weakened soon after reaching its peak intensity. On March 19, Savannah transitioned into a post-tropical cyclone, with the system continuing southwestward. On the next day, Savannah's remnant looped eastward, before turning westward on March 21. The system weakened afterward, with Savannah's remnant dissipating on March 23.


2018–19 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Intense Tropical Cyclone Joaninha
On March 18, Tropical Depression 13 formed to the east of Madagascar. After a few days of meandering to the west and then the southeast, the system intensified into Moderate Tropical Storm Joaninha on March 22, turning southward as it did so. On March 23, Joaninha strengthened into a severe tropical storm. Early on March 24, Joaninha strengthened further into a tropical cyclone on the MFR scale. On the next day, Joaninha intensified into an intense tropical cyclone. After moving over cooler waters, Joaninha slowly began to weaken, dropping to severe tropical storm intensity on the MFR scale on March 29. On March 30, Joaninha became post-tropical shortly after merging with an upper-level low.


2018–19 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Intense Tropical Cyclone Joaninha
Joaninha passed within approximately 80 km (50 mi) of the Mauritian island of Rodrigues, producing wind gusts on the northern side of the island at Port Mathurin up to 161 km/h (100 mph), including gusts in excess of 100 km/h (60 mph) for 33 hours. Nearly 200 mm (8 in) of rain fell across the island during the passage of the system.


2018–19 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Intense Tropical Cyclone Kenneth
On April 21, Météo-France (MFR) initiated advisories on Tropical Disturbance 14, which was situated to the northeast of Madagascar. The system drifted westward, organizing as it did so. Early on April 23, the system strengthened into a tropical depression. Later that day, at 12:00 UTC, the tropical depression strengthened into a moderate tropical storm as was named Kenneth, becoming the fourteenth tropical storm of the season. Early on April 24, Kenneth strengthened into a tropical cyclone. Kenneth rapidly organized while approaching Mozambique, reaching Category 3-equivalent tropical cyclone intensity within several hours.


2018–19 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Intense Tropical Cyclone Kenneth
On the same day, Kenneth was projected to strike Mozambique within a day and bring more flooding and wind damage to the nation, about a month after Cyclone Idai had devastated the region, raising fears that the ongoing humanitarian crisis there could be worsened by the storm. On the next day, Kenneth reached its peak intensity, becoming a Category 4-equivalent intense tropical cyclone, as the storm began to near landfall in Mozambique. However, at about that time, Kenneth initiated an eyewall replacement cycle and gradually began to weaken, just prior to landfall.


2018–19 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Intense Tropical Cyclone Kenneth
Later that day, at 18:15 UTC, Kenneth made landfall as a Category 4-equivalent intense tropical cyclone in Mozambique, with 1-minute sustained winds of 220 km/h (135 mph), just north of Pemba. This made Kenneth the most intense landfalling storm in Mozambique's recorded history. Kenneth's landfall also marked the second time in Mozambique's recorded history in which two storms have made landfall during the same season at tropical cyclone intensity or higher.


2018–19 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Intense Tropical Cyclone Kenneth
Kenneth underwent extremely rapid weakening upon making landfall, despite the relatively favorable atmospheric environment and flat terrain of northern Mozambique. The system's maximum ten-minute sustained winds decreased from 205 km/h (125 mph) to just 65 km/h (40 mph) in just ten hours after landfall, weakening the storm to tropical storm intensity. On April 26, Kenneth weakened to tropical depression intensity, while continuing its southward motion. On April 27, Kenneth began drifting northward, also developing some thunderstorms off the coast of Mozambique. Kenneth continued to weaken, dissipating by 12:00 UTC on April 29.


2018–19 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Intense Tropical Cyclone Kenneth
Kenneth killed at least 52 people; seven on the island of Comoros, and at least 45 people in Mozambique. In Mozambique, Kenneth caused widespread damage in the city of Pemba, including extensive power outages and numerous felled trees. Kenneth is estimated to have caused at least $100 million in damages.


2018–19 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Lorna
On April 21, Tropical Depression 15 formed to the southeast of the Maldives. The system moved southeastward, before turning south-southeastward on April 22, while slowly strengthening. On the next day, the system intensified into Moderate Tropical Storm Lorna, making the 2018–19 season the most active cyclone season recorded in the South-West Indian Ocean in the satellite era, surpassing the previous record set by the 1993–94 season. Lorna resumed a southeasterly direction on April 24, while continuing to organise. On April 25, Lorna then intensified into a severe tropical storm.


2018–19 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Lorna
On the same day, Lorna began to interact with a smaller tropical low to the east, in the Australian region basin, before absorbing the weaker system early on the next day. On April 26, the JTWC upgraded Lorna to Category 1 status, while Lorna began turning towards the south. Soon afterward, Lorna encountered relatively strong vertical wind shear and steadily decreasing sea temperatures as it continued to track southwards, causing its gradual intensification trend to halt, and the JTWC to downgrade the system to a high-end tropical storm.


2018–19 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Lorna
On 28 April, somewhat unexpectedly, and contradicting forecasts by MFR and the JTWC, the system developed a clearly defined eye and underwent steady intensification. Consequently, MFR upgraded the system to a tropical cyclone, and the JTWC upgraded Lorna to Category 2 status on the Saffir–Simpson scale. Around this time, Lorna deviated from its predominantly southwards motion, and assumed a track to the south-southeast.


2018–19 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Lorna
Due to the system being located on the very eastern edge of the South-West Indian Ocean basin during the previous two days, this slight easterly motion caused the cyclone to become centred directly over the 90th meridian east—the boundary of the Australian Bureau of Meteorology's area of responsibility. Lorna strengthened to peak intensity while tracking southwards along the boundary between the two regions, attaining ten-minute sustained winds of 150 km/h (95 mph) by 18:00 UTC on April 28.


2018–19 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Lorna
By 29 April, the structure of the cyclone had degraded significantly, primarily due to strong vertical wind shear and resulting dry air intrusion. As a result, the system was downgraded by the MFR to a severe tropical storm. Very strong vertical wind shear, analysed at 40 knots (75 km/h; 45 mph) at 09:00 UTC on April 29, caused Lorna to become devoid of deep convection later that day. Having lost tropical characteristics, the system was downgraded by the MFR at 12:00 UTC to a powerful storm-force post-tropical depression. Gale-force winds ceased by 12:00 UTC on April 30, and Ex-Tropical Cyclone Lorna exited the basin into the Australian region by 06:00 UTC on May 1. Soon afterward, Lorna became an extratropical low, before merging with another low-pressure system in the central southern Indian Ocean later that day.


2018–19 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Storm names
Within the South-West Indian Ocean, tropical depressions and subtropical depressions that are judged to have 10-minute sustained windspeeds of 65 km/h (40 mph) by the Regional Specialized Meteorological Center on La Réunion Island, France (RSMC La Réunion) are usually assigned a name. However, it is the Sub-Regional Tropical Cyclone Advisory Centers in Mauritius and Madagascar who name the systems.


2018–19 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Storm names
The Sub-Regional Tropical Cyclone Advisory Center in Mauritius names a storm should it intensify into a moderate tropical storm between 55°E and 90°E. If instead a cyclone intensifies into a moderate tropical storm between 30°E and 55°E then the Sub-Regional Tropical Cyclone Advisory Center in Madagascar assigns the appropriate name to the storm. Beginning from the 2016–17 season, name lists within the South-West Indian Ocean will be rotated on a triennial basis. Storm names are only used once, so any storm name used this year will be removed from rotation and replaced with a new name for the 2021–22 season. The unused names are expected to be reused in the list for the 2021–22 season.


2018–19 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Storm names
Kenanga entered this basin as a moderate tropical storm from the Australian region on December 16, retaining its name assigned by TCWC Jakarta. Similarly, Savannah entered this basin as an intense tropical cyclone from the Australian region on March 17, retaining its name assigned by TCWC Perth. Furthermore, Moderate Tropical Storm 01 which formed in September was not assigned a name because it was not classified as a moderate tropical storm until the post-analysis was completed.


2018–19 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Storm names
After the season, the twelve names used were automatically retired and were replaced with Ana, Batsirai, Cliff, Damako, Emnati, Fezile, Gomba, Halima, Issa, Jasmine, Karim and Letlama, respectively for the 2021–22 season.

Southampton picked up just one point from their first three games of the 2018–19 Premier League campaign, holding Burnley to a goalless draw in their opening fixture. The club lost their following two games 2–1. In the first, against Everton, the Saints were down by two goals within 31 minutes following goals from Theo Walcott and Richarlison. New signing Danny Ings scored his first goal for the club after the break, but the hosts held on for the three points, with Walcott almost doubling his tally late on.

The second, against Leicester City, saw few chances for either side in the first 45 minutes. Ryan Bertrand opened the scoring shortly after the break, but his side's lead was cancelled out by Demarai Gray within a few minutes. After Pierre-Emile Højbjerg was sent off, the visitors secured the win in injury time through Harry Maguire. The Saints picked up their first win of the season the following week, beating Crystal Palace 2–0 thanks to second-half goals from Ings and Højbjerg.


2018–19 Southampton F.C. season, Premier League, August–September 2018
Two weeks later, a second consecutive win of the season at home to Brighton & Hove Albion was denied by a penalty in injury time at the end of the game. Højbjerg opened the scoring before half-time with a strike from long range, with Ings adding a second after the break from a penalty awarded for a foul on the striker. Shane Duffy brought the Seagulls back into the game, with Glenn Murray converting an injury time penalty to secure a point for the visitors. The draw with Brighton was followed by three consecutive losses.


2018–19 Southampton F.C. season, Premier League, August–September 2018
First, the Saints were beaten 3–0 by a Liverpool side at the top of the league table, with goals from centre-back Joël Matip and striker Mohamed Salah following a tenth-minute own goal by Wesley Hoedt. Next was a 2–0 loss at recently promoted Wolverhampton Wanderers, with goals scored by Ivan Cavaleiro (his first touch in the Premier League) and Jonny Castro Otto within the last 11 minutes of the game. The run left Southampton 16th in the Premier League table.


2018–19 Southampton F.C. season, Premier League, October–December 2018
October started off with another 3–0 loss, at home to title challengers Chelsea. Winger Eden Hazard opened the scoring after half an hour, with Ross Barkley and Álvaro Morata contributing in the second half to the convincing win which left Southampton just two points above the relegation zone and Chelsea second in the table. Southampton's poor form continued, although they remained clear of the drop zone, with a point each from two goalless draws later in October.


2018–19 Southampton F.C. season, Premier League, October–December 2018
The first at  Bournemouth, featured few chances for either side; the second, at home to Newcastle United, saw the Saints dominate proceedings with 22 shots compared to the Magpies' six. The following week, the Saints suffered their worst defeat in Premier League history, when they lost 6–1 to league champions and leaders Manchester City. Another Hoedt own goal put the visitors down within six minutes, and by the 20th the hosts were three ahead after Sergio Agüero and David Silva added to the scoreline. Ings pulled one back with a first-half penalty, but two goals from Raheem Sterling and one from Leroy Sané ensured a convincing win for the league leaders.


2018–19 Southampton F.C. season, Premier League, October–December 2018
Southampton continued their winless run in the next two games, drawing 1–1 with Watford and losing 3–2 to recently promoted Fulham. In the former, the Saints led through Manolo Gabbiadini's first-half strike, but were denied a two-goal cushion when a goal scored by Charlie Austin was "incorrectly" denied due to offside. José Holebas equalised in the last ten minutes to secure a point for the visitors. Against Fulham, a first goal for Stuart Armstrong put his side ahead, but one from Aleksandar Mitrović and one from André Schürrle before the break put the hosts up at half-time.


2018–19 Southampton F.C. season, Premier League, October–December 2018
Armstrong scored a second time to equalise for the Saints, but Mitrović responded in kind to secure the win. In their first game of December, Southampton hosted Manchester United and shared the points in a 2–2 draw. The Saints took an unlikely lead within 20 minutes, as Armstrong and Cédric Soares put the hosts two up against the struggling visitors. United responded before half-time, however, with Romelu Lukaku and Ander Herrera levelling the game going into the break. A second half of few chances left both sides picking up a point for the game, and Southampton without a win in three months.


2018–19 Southampton F.C. season, Premier League, October–December 2018
On 3 December 2018, Mark Hughes was sacked as the manager of Southampton. Assistant first-team coach Kelvin Davis took charge of the team at Wembley Stadium against Tottenham Hotspur two days later, which ended 3–1 to the hosts. Despite Harry Kane opening the scoring within the first ten minutes, it took until the second half for Spurs to score again, which they did through Lucas Moura and Son Heung-min within ten minutes of the restart to go three up. Austin scored a consolation goal for the Saints in injury time, but the loss left them in the relegation zone.


2018–19 Southampton F.C. season, Premier League, October–December 2018
Former Leipzig boss Ralph Hasenhüttl was named as Southampton's new manager before the Tottenham game, with his first match in charge to be the fixture against Cardiff City on 8 December. Hasenhüttl's first game at the club ended in a loss, with Callum Paterson scoring the only goal of the match late on to send the Saints down to 19th in the league table, three points away from safety.


2018–19 Southampton F.C. season, Premier League, October–December 2018
In Hasenhüttl's first home game, Southampton beat Arsenal 3–2. Danny Ings headed in a cross from Matt Targett within 20 minutes, although Henrikh Mkhitaryan responded with an equalising header just eight minutes later. Before half-time, Ings scored a second to put the hosts back in front, although less than ten minutes after the break Mkhitaryan responded in kind to level it for the visitors again.


2018–19 Southampton F.C. season, Premier League, October–December 2018
Shane Long saw a late goal disallowed, but later set up Charlie Austin to score the winner in the 85th minute; Southampton's first win since September saw them move out of the relegation zone for the first time in three weeks. The following week, the Saints beat fellow strugglers Huddersfield Town 3–1 away to pick up a second consecutive league win for the first time since April 2017.


2018–19 Southampton F.C. season, Premier League, October–December 2018
Nathan Redmond opened the scoring with his first goal of the season after 15 minutes, and Ings doubled the lead just before half-time with a penalty after being brought down in the box. Within 15 minutes of the restart, a long-range effort from Philip Billing brought the hosts back into the game, however a first goal for young striker Michael Obafemi just five minutes after coming on gave Southampton back their two-goal lead.


2018–19 Southampton F.C. season, Premier League, October–December 2018
On 27 December, the club lost 2–1 at home to West Ham United. After a first half of few chances, Nathan Redmond scored for the second game running just after the break to put the hosts ahead. However, within ten minutes the Hammers had responded twice through Felipe Anderson, ending Southampton's short winning run. In their final game of 2018, Southampton hosted Premier League champions Manchester City, losing 3–1. David Silva opened the scoring after ten minutes, but Pierre-Emile Højbjerg responded 25 minutes later to equalise for the hosts.


2018–19 Southampton F.C. season, Premier League, October–December 2018
On the stroke of half-time, however, a shot from Raheem Sterling was deflected into his own goal by James Ward-Prowse, and in injury time a back-post header from Sergio Agüero made it 3–1. Southampton were unable to mount a comeback in the second half, and Højbjerg was shown a straight red card five minutes from full-time for a tackle on Fernandinho. The loss left the Saints out of the relegation zone on goal difference only.


2018–19 Southampton F.C. season, Premier League, January–March 2019
In their first fixture of 2019, Southampton were held to a goalless draw by Chelsea. The hosts dominated possession throughout the game, but despite 17 shots were unable to find a way through the defence. In the best chances of the game, Eden Hazard saw his shot saved by Angus Gunn, while Álvaro Morata's second-half goal was disallowed for offside. Two weeks later, the Saints picked up a 2–1 win over Leicester City. The visitors opened the scoring early through a James Ward-Prowse penalty, after Nampalys Mendy fouled Shane Long in the box. On the stroke of half-time, however, Yan Valery was sent off for a second yellow card after a foul on Marc Albrighton. Long doubled Southampton's lead in injury time before the break, before Wilfred Ndidi scored a consolation goal for the hosts in the second half.

Substitute Charlie Austin had a shot blocked on the line by Bernardo late on, but scored in the 88th minute to secure the first win of the season for the visitors. In the third round, the Saints travelled again to face Everton, to whom they had lost in the league a few weeks prior.


2018–19 Southampton F.C. season, EFL Cup
Another win looked to be likely for the South Coast club, after a lead secured by Danny Ings before the break remained for most of the second half, however a late response from Theo Walcott sent the game to penalties. Southampton won the penalty shootout 4–3, with Cédric Soares converting the decisive spot kick after Walcott saw his effort saved by Gunn (Richarlison also missed his penalty, while Matt Targett missed for the Saints).


2018–19 Southampton F.C. season, EFL Cup
In the fourth round, Southampton travelled again to face Leicester City, another side who had already beaten them in the league. Initially due to take place on 30 October, the fixture was postponed following the death of Leicester's chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha. The visitors enjoyed the majority of chances, most of which came in the second half, with Nathan Redmond and Manolo Gabbiadini both coming close to breaking the goalless deadlock, and Steven Davis seeing a goal disallowed by the video assistant referee due to a handball by Redmond. The game went to penalties, with both sides scoring all five of their initial spot kicks. Gabbiadini failed to score his sudden death penalty, allowing Nampalys Mendy to secure the win for the Foxes.

Everyone would get up and start singing and dancing. We just sat back and watched it happen. Right there we decided we should play the song after our wins." The following day, goaltender Jordan Binnington made his first start for the Blues that season and won the game with a shutout.
