Wenger: Everyone says it was a penalty

Wenger feels his side squandered too many opportunities to score, before scoring from the penalty spot, and Southampton made Arsenal work hard to get three points at the Emirates.

"We showed good spirit, good attitude and we were strong in defence and played well on the counter attack in the second half".

A manager whom Arsene Wenger will know well from French football circles, everybody here at Arsenal Mania hopes our boys can outfox the Saints come Saturday afternoon.

In the second half Arsenal fans voiced their displeasure at the average performance on display as they never really looked like finding a victor until stoppage-time.

Wenger said: "I haven't seen [the penalty] again, but they tell me in the dressing room it was a penalty - a 100 per cent penalty".

- The Gunners have already won more Premier League penalties in 2016-17 (3) than they did in the whole of 2015-16 (2).

Heung-Min Son, brought in for Erik Lamela after he played for Argentina in midweek, scored with two first-time finishes either side of the interval and England internationals Dele Alli and Harry Kane, both of whom scored doubles back in April, then found the net for the first time this season.

Market Reaction to the Saudi-Russia Oil Deal
A first meeting of the Russia-Saudi task force on oil and natural gas scheduled for this October should tell more about solutions. After a joint news conference, however, the ministers gave conflicting signals on the potential of a crude output freeze.

Speaking at full-time, Wenger said: "It is a relief, because we missed many chances and they had one or two opportunities having thrown everything forward. It's a big frustration but sometimes in a moment of the game you can lose". "In the second half it was much better".

From the off, it was apparent Southampton were going to take the game to their hosts, and although Arsenal escaped a couple of risky early crosses unscathed, Jay Rodriguez squandering the best chance with his head, they were soon behind.

"When you lose your first home game you can not afford to drop points in your second home game because it creates a little bit of an anxiety level at home, and that's not what we want", he said.

Cazorla's penalty was the third Southampton have conceded so far this season in just four games and Puel is not happy with that statistic.

Arsenal fans may not have been enjoying the opening exchanges in their clash against Southampton but Laurent Koscielny soon changed all that.

"I had a lot of time to think about where to shoot my penalty, but I kept calm", he said.

"I thought if I shot down the middle the keeper might go to one side".
