Look away now Arsenal fans.

There is an eyesore of a statistic coming your way courtesy of the number-crunchers at Opta.

They report that Arsenal haven't won after trailing at half-time in the Premier League since October 2011 when they beat Chelsea 5-3.

Since then, they have been losing at half-time in 28 Premier League games, losing 17 and drawing 11. 

Aaron Ramsey has his passing boots on today. He's made the highest number of passes in the Arsenal side - 48.

All the television cameras are trained on Cuco Martina as the Southampton full-back - whose wonder strike separates the two sides - heads down the tunnel.

Here is a new entry in your football atlas as well.

The 26-year-old, who was born in Rotterdam, represents Curacao one of the former Dutch Antilles.

It looks nice.

"Southampton have been set up well, they knew what to expect, and Arsenal have a couple of players not totally au fait with their system. He will have to change it - it will be interesting to see what Wenger will do. Southampton are set and defending very well."

Sadio Mane wins a free-kick and kills some time as he teases Aaron Ramsey into a foul with a stepover in the centre circle.

That should be two!

Sadio Mane dinks a throughball over Per Mertesacker, who turns like a tanker as Shane Long nips in behind him and in on goal.

The Irishman never quite has the ball under his control though and on the stretch his attempt to lift over the advancing Petr Cech is well over the top.

A let-off for Arsenal.

Arsenal dominating the ball as we tick down towards the break. Southampton's fans are urging their side to concentrate and hold out.

A big four minutes coming up...

Theo Walcott with a free header - plenty of power, lacking a bit of direction.

His effort brushes the outside of the side netting on its way behind.

For all their trademark pretty stuff, the aerial route looks Arsenal's likeliest way back into this one so far.

"With the two banks of four, Arsenal really are struggling to break them down. Southampton are looking very comfortable at the moment."

Theo Walcott feathers the accelerator and glides in off the right flank, leaving a clutch of Southampton defenders choking on fumes.

His shot from 15 yards is not a clean hit though and trundles into the arms of Maarten Stekelenburg.

Big call from Jonathan Moss.

The referee rules that Shane Long - a featherweight compared to Per Mertesacker - has fouled Arsenal's centre-back in a tussle moments before applying a cute-as-a-button finish past Petr Cech.

That looked fair enough to me, but Long picks up a yellow, part for the foul, part of the advice he aimed Moss's way.

There is a little niggle out there.

Arsenal playmaker Mesut Ozil is having a running row with Jordy Clasie in the Southampton midfield.

Theo Walcott has also taken exception to his treatment at the hands and studs of Victor Wanyama.

What have you got Gunners? Time to show some grit and guts.

"With that wind swirling neither Mertesacker or Koscielny look comfortable."
