Arsenal are squandering a huge chance to finish in the top four after their losing streak extended to three games against Southampton.
The Gunners suffered another defeat on Saturday as Jan Bednarek sealed a 1-0 win for the hosts. The north Londoners had a golden opportunity to make ground on rivals Tottenham who slipped up against Brighton earlier in the day, but they failed to take advantage of their mistake.
Mikel Arteta has found Arsenal's current skid difficult to explain considering they were cruising before the international break. The Gunners' issues are coming at the top end of the pitch as Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah are their only recognised no.9s after the exit of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in January.
