Arsenal bundled out of League Cup

Arsenal fans can now remove one of the trophies from the possible trophies that Arsenal can win. This trophy happens to be the League Cup. For those who are superstitious, probably I jinxed Arsenal on my article yesterday on what Arsenal could realistically win this season.

The Gunners suffered a shock loss from the well-organized Southampton team. The Gunners were in control in the first quarter of the game and took the lead through a sumptuous free kick by Alexis Sanchez. The Saints then equalized from the spot after a foul on Mane by Rosicky. Nathan Clyne scored the winner through a thunderous effort after a poor clearance from a corner.

Overall, the Gunners were not impressive but can draw encouragement from the performance of the youngsters. Oooh! Diaby played 60 minutes without getting injured. Good news, surely.

Arsenal face Tottenham on Saturday in the first north London derby of the season.
