'We couldn't put the ball into the net': Mikel Arteta claims his 'struggling' side missed 'three or four' opportunities and needed 'two or three goals' in 1-1 Southampton draw as Arsenal's scintillating run is stalled

Mikel Arteta admitted he was frustrated with his side's litany of missed chances as their scintillating form hit a stumbling block against Southampton, recording just their first draw of the campaign.

Arteta's Arsenal have been rampant at times this season, but struggled to convert the opportunities they crafted against a Saints side that made life very difficult for the Premier League leaders at St. Mary's.

The Gunners had taken the lead through Granit Xhaka after just 11 minutes, but were pegged back in the second half by Stuart Armstrong's strike just after the hour mark as the home side came away with a well-earned point.
