Arsenal were sent crashing out of the Capital One Cup in the third round after 2-1 home defeat to Southampton. The game got off to an explosive start, with Alexis Sanchez curling a sublime free-kick into the top corner from fully 25 yards, with Saints’ goalkeeper Fraser Forster beaten all ends up. However, the Gunners’ lead only lasted six minutes, as Tomas Rosicky gifted the visitors a golden opportunity to equalise from the penalty spot after bringing down Saido Mane in the box. Dusan Tadic nonchalantly converted, delaying his kick and calmly slotting the ball down the centre of debutant David Ospina’s goal. And Ronald Koeman’s men weren’t done there. Five minutes before the break Nathaniel Clyne grabbed what proved to be the winner, firing a thunderbolt in from distance that was hit with such ferocity that Ospina just couldn’t keep it out. The Gunners threw everything at the Saints after the interval, but they couldn’t find a way through a determined backline, and Southampton continued their fine start to the season with yet another impressive win, while Arsene Wenger’s men crashed out on their own turf.
