Unofficial Champions of England: Southampton 3-1 Wimbledon, 19/12/1998



Champions Wimbledon had made two successful defences of their title with wins over both Coventry City and Liverpool. Match three however brought them to The Dell to take on fellow strugglers, Southampton.

Southampton were not in good form going into this game. They had only won one of their last six matches and had lost their last three.

The Saints took the lead early in the first half through Norwegian striker Egil Ostenstad. Goals were added in the second half by Hassan Kachloul and a second for Ostenstad.

Wimbledon did pull one back through Marcus Gayle but it was to be Southampton's day as they became English Champions for a third time.
