Arsenal missed the chance to climb to top of the Premier League table as Arsene Wenger’s men were humiliated 4-0 by Southampton at St Mary’s Stadium on Saturday.
Cuco Martina scored one of the best goals of the season to give Saints the lead in the 19th minute. Arsenal were very poor defensively as Southampton scored three more goals in the second half thanks to Shane Long (55′ & 90′) and Jose Miguel Fonte (69′).

You can lose. But 4-0 can deeply affect Arsenal confidence for the rest of the season. When you have to deliver, you fail, and dramatically

Beating City didn't mean AFC had won the league. Losing to SFC doesn't mean they have lost it. #perspective

From beating Manchester City to being spanked by a team with 1 point from their last 15. Arsenal, Ladies and Gentleman.

The best way to hide something from an Arsenal fan is to put it at the top of the table. #Stolen

Arsenal lost 4-0? Not that it means much but atleast their fans will shut up for 2 days.

Your clubs are struggling to be where Arsenal is in the table. That's why some of you sacked your managers while others want theirs sacked.

No wonder so many Arsenal fans driven to distraction & find it impossible to trust their team. So impressive against Man. City now this.
