Intro:

Post match reaction from the Emirates Stadium in London after a late Alexis Sanchez goal gave Arsenal a 1-0 win over Southampton in the English Premier League on Wednesday (3rd December).

Script:

SOUNDBITE Ronald Koeman, Southampton coach (on the impact of defeats against Manchester City and Arsenal)

"Oh, today was difficult. Last Sunday it was more difficult, because we didn't play well. Today, we had good ball position and I was surprised that Arsenal was waiting. Arsenal was not pressing from the beginning and that's a compliment for us. But, you need a bit of luck and we played well in the first half, we had the best chance in the game for (Graziano) Pelle, in the second half for Shane Long, but we were not lucky today in the injuries that we had. Eleven against ten. Eleven against eleven, against Arsenal is difficult, but eleven against ten, it's more difficult and they have the quality to score the goal in the last ten minutes."
