[Video Goals] Southampton 2-0 Arsenal: Szczesny Gaffs Cost Gunners

Arsenal crashed to a hugely disappointing 2-0 defeat to Southampton at St Mary’s Stadium this afternoon thanks to two shocking mistakes in defence.

The hosts opened the scoring in the 34th minute when Saido Mane got the better of Laurent Koscielny before curling over the head of Wojciech Szczesny into the empty net after the Pole was left in no-mans-land.

It was 2-0 shortly after half-time when Mathieu Debuchy and Szczesny failed to clear their lines allowing Dustin Tadic to poke home from close range.

Southampton could have increased their lead were it not for the post and a goal-line clearance from Debuchy as we slumped to our first loss in six games.

The defeat means we remain in fifth place in the Premier League table but now trail fourth-placed Southampton by three points.
