Two goals from Danny Ings and once from Charlie Austin ensured the Gunners 22 match unbeaten run came to an end.

Although, Henrikh Mkhitaryan scored twice but his goals were not enough to rescue the north Londoners from losing their third Premier League game.

Emery was welcomed in the EPL in August with back to back defeats from Manchester City and Chelsea.

And since then has gone unbeaten in all competitions until this weekend when the Saints halted his run.

He told Arsenal official website after the game that: "We need every player. Bellerin has a small injury - he is going to be some weeks off I think.

"Sokratis is coming back and we will see how Mustafi and Kolasinac are, and it is good news Koscielny can be with us for the next matches. It is not a good result but it was important for us [to have them back]."

The Gunners remain fifth on the log with 34 points from 17 matches and will face Burnley in their next meeting at the Emirates Stadium.

Legit.ng earlier reported that Southampton ended Arsenal's 22 match unbeaten run following their 3-1 win at Saint Mary's Stadium on Sunday.
