Arsenal have crashed out of the English Football League Cup.
The Gunners were beaten 2 - 0 at the Emirates by a spirited Southampton side. Goals from Jordy Clasie - his first for the club - and Ryan Bertrand secured victory for Southampton, inflicting a first defeat on the Gunners since the opening day of the season.
Speaking after the game, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, said: "I regret that we lost the game. We had played well until now. If you look at the players who played well, some of those who did not play were on the edge.
"In midfield we had Coquelin, Ramsey, Elneny, Xhaka, Perez... Giroud was injured. We had Iwobi, one of the regular players in the first team.
"The problem wasn't there. We had players who are used to top-level competition. But we didn't have the right urgency.
"I'm disappointed. We had a disappointing performance, particularly in the first half."
Southampton will face Liverpool in the semi finals while Hull City battle Manchester United.
