„I cannot complain about the attitude. The main reason we lost - the performance of our opponents. It is not the fault of the football players,“ said Wenger.

„We must congratulate our opponents. Southampton is a good team and yesterday they played excellently,“.

„The end of the match is a bit disappointing, because we started it quite well, but later we made a lot of mistakes controlling the ball.“
