Arsenal demolished Southampton to the tune of a five-goal margin. Here are five things we learned from Saturday’s FA Cup fourth-round victory.
That was a consummate performance from Arsenal. With Arsene Wenger happily chopping and changing his players, resting the likes of Mesut Ozil, Alexis Sanchez and Laurent Koscielny and reintroducing Theo Walcott and Danny Welbeck from their respective injury issues. The five goals that the Gunners scored were well deserved of the performance and the team seems to be hitting their stride just as the key fixtures come thick and fast.
