Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, has said “big errors” cost his side, as they were defeated 2-1 by Southampton in the Capital One Cup on Tuesday.
Alexis Sanchez gave the Gunners the lead with a stunning free-kick, but Dusan Tadic levelled from the spot after Tomas Rosicky was penalized for a foul in the area.
It was Nathaniel Clyne who had the final word, firing a thunderbolt past Daniel Ospina, as Arsenal crashed out of the competition.
“I cannot fault the attitude. The reason we lost is because of our opponent’s performance. It is not the players’ fault,” Wenger told reporters.
“You have to give credit to Southampton. They are a good side and they played very well tonight.
“It’s disappointing because we had a good start, but we made big errors when we had the ball. We gave a lot but it’s frustrating.”
