Arsenal suffered another blow to their title chances last night, after drawing to Southampton.

The Gunners have now only gained three points from a possible 12, and are starting to feel the pressure, so much so, that even Arsene Wenger seems at breaking point.

As reported via Sky Sports, following the full-time whistle, Wenger proceeded to shout his anger at referee Lee Mason.

It’s always the same with you.

Ronald Koeman, in frustration replied to the Frenchman.

No, it’s always the same with you.

You had 10 chances to score and didn’t take any of them, instead you take it out on [the officials].

Although this incident was reported to the FA, neither manager will face charges for misconduct.

The draw leaves Arsenal in 4th place, trailing league leaders, Leicester City, by five points with 14 games left. After the game, Wenger admitted that his side’s finishing had been poor.

The chances created were good but our finishing was poor and at the end of the day we paid for that.

We cannot fault our focus, desire and energy levels, but when you create the quality of chances we did tonight you have to win the game and that’s what we didn’t do.

The only thing you could say was their goalkeeper had a great performance. It was just bad finishing, we had the chances and at the moment we have played three games without scoring, but not without creating chances, and you go through patches like that.
