Wilshere, Ozil, Giroud & More: Arsenal Players React On Twitter To Saints Wins

Arsenal eased past Southampton 2-0 at the Emirates on Saturday afternoon thanks to a brace from striker Olivier Giroud. 

The Frenchman capatalised on a mistake from Artur Boruc to put the Gunner ahead in the first half before slotting home from the penalty spot after Per Mertesacker had been pulled back by Fonte in the area. The victory saw Arsenal extend their lead at the top of the Premier League to four points after Liverpool were held by Everton at Goodison Park earlier in the day.

After the game, some of the players took to Twitter to react to the result with the likes of Mesut Ozil, Jack Wilshere, Aaron Ramsey, Olivier Giroud and Kieran Gibbs all having their say. It’s clear the boys were happy with the victory but some also took time out to praise the opposition, with Wilshere backing the Saints to finish in the top 6 this season.
