Rock-bottom Saints were thumped 5-1 at home by Chelsea, having played with ten men for more than 50 minutes, while Wolves, who are 19th in the table, were smashed 4-0 at Everton in what was billed as a six-pointer.
Russell Martin's Saints were booed off at full-time - with fans even booing the announcement of the next home fixture - while club owners Sport Republic watched on.

"So it's football, right? It's emotive and people feel so much about it, it's why it's such a special sport in this country and so big so I understand it."
Asked how he thought the watching owners would view the game, Martin said: "I hope in the same way it would judge any other performance.

"They see a team that is absolutely together and fighting so hard and who show that in the way they run and want to take the ball for each other.
"I think all I can ever ask is they work as hard as they possibly can and they fight as hard as they can - and I believe they're doing that."
The Saints travel to Aston Villa on Saturday.

He was subject to chants of 'you're getting sacked in the morning' from his own fans at Everton, and was jeered when he went to applaud the travelling fanbase after the match.
He told the BBC: "I go over there to see them because I appreciate every single one of the Wolves fanbase.
"They have given me unbelievable support since I arrived at the football club.
"We managed to produce some unbelievable stuff last season – away at Chelsea, Tottenham and West Brom - with a team that was heavily tipped by most of the nation for relegation, but we were nowhere near it, ever.
"We enjoyed that together, so now that it is tough I am happy to go over there and look them right in the face and take any criticism they want to throw at me.
"I accept responsibility for my part in that and that will not change how I feel about them and what they have given me over the last 15 months."
Wolves travel to West Ham - a side where boss Julen Lopetegui is also under mounting pressure - for a game some are dubbing 'El Sackico' on Monday night.
After that, Wolves host Town on Saturday, December 14th.

"I will continue to take responsibility for all of my part on where we are at this moment. Whatever the fans may think of me and my team, there definitely isn't anyone working harder to help their football club than me.
"I will continue to do so until someone tells me not to."
