Africa-Press<\/a> – Uganda<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Southampton dumped FA Cup holders Arsenal out of the competition on Saturday, winning 1-0 courtesy of a Gabriel own goal to set up a fifth-round meeting with Wolves.<\/p>\n

The much-changed Gunners, who have won the competition a record 14 times, fell behind midway through the first half and could not find a way back.<\/p>\n

Ralph Hasenhuttl fielded a strong side at St Mary’s, with Danny Ings returning after a hamstring injury and a positive coronavirus test alongside former Arsenal forward Theo Walcott.<\/p>\n

Mikel Arteta made seven changes from their 3-0 Premier League win against Newcastle on Monday.<\/p>\n

Southampton, who had never previously beaten Arsenal in the FA Cup, were the brighter team in the first half in the winter sunshine on England’s south coast.<\/p>\n

James Ward-Prowse rattled the crossbar from a swerving corner and Che Adams forced a fine save from Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno.<\/p>\n

Southampton got the reward their positive approach deserved in the 24th minute.<\/p>\n

Mohamed Elneny gave away possession on the edge of his own box and the ball was worked to Kyle Walker-Peters on the right side of the Southampton attack.<\/p>\n

The defender drilled it across the six-yard area and it was inadvertently turned in by Gabriel — the first time rejuvenated Arsenal had conceded since December 26 against Chelsea.<\/p>\n

Ward-Prowse then struck a shot from distance that sailed wide and Ings hit a fierce volley that was blocked by Hector Bellerin.<\/p>\n

Arsenal found their feet in the second half and Fraser Forster was forced to make a sharp save with his feet to keep out Eddie Nketiah’s deflected shot after a pass from Nicolas Pepe.<\/p>\n

Arteta threw on forward Alexandre Lacazette to bolster his attack as Arsenal pinned Southampton back.<\/p>\n

Lacazette was inches away from getting on the end of a teasing cross by fellow substitute Bukayo Saka as the minutes ticked away but Arsenal could not find an equaliser.<\/p>\n

The exit will be a bitter disappointment for Arsenal, who have won the FA Cup four times in the past seven seasons — in sharp contrast to their toils in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

Arteta’s side will return to Southampton for a league meeting on Tuesday, aiming to continue their fine recent run that has lifted them to 10th in the table.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
