Southampton vs Arsenal on Tuesday,January 28, 2014 at St Mary stadium.
In the earlier match;Olivier Giroud scored in either half as Arsenal edged past an impressive Southampton.Saints goalkeeper Artur Boruc gifted the hosts the lead, dwelling on a back-pass and allowing Giroud to tap in.Jack Wilshere and Aaron Ramsey had hit the post, while Adam Lallana and Jay Rodriguez went close for the visitors.
Giroud sealed the win from the penalty spot after Jose Fonte was penalised for pulling Per Mertesacker's shirt.Boruc's error was inexplicable and follows on from the bizarre goal he recently conceded at Stoke, when Potters goalkeeper Asmir Begovic beat the Pole with an upfield clearance that bounced over his head.
But that aside, for a club on the brink of extinction following relegation to League One in 2009, Saints looked remarkably comfortable with their elevated status and caused Arsenal trouble throughout.
They were not helped by an illness to Dejan Lovren, which saw Jos Hooiveld come in for his first league start this season, and left their defence looking less solid than it has for most of the campaign.
Wilshere saw a chip hit the post and Ramsey was denied by the same piece of woodwork with an audacious flick from Mesut Ozil's cross.
The pressure was building but that could not legislate for Arsenal's opener; Boruc received Nathaniel Clyne's pass and tried to dribble past Giroud, only to be robbed of possession and Giroud tapped in.
The Saints will be hoping to bounce back from recent dismay performance.

We pray Arsenal win and we remain on top.....................
